Michelle Malkin has recently provided a rather exhaustive rebuttal to her critics Eric Muller and Greg Robinson that is worth a (albeit long) look over. Again I cannot provide my own commentary on the matter seeing as how I have not yet read the book but I will note that Malkin's rebuttal does seem rather concise and clear even though the claims made against her are questioning her work ethic and state of mind in terms of the work.
Once again I find this a touchy subject to dive head first into considering the potency of feelings on all sides. Seeing as how I may well find a future in Japanese/US relations I wonder if I'm going to find something posted here coming back to "haunt" me. Not that I am worried about anything I say, but seeing how politicians of today are judged by events many years in the past, I wouldn't be surprised. All I know is that I'll read the book and then make my opinion on the matter known. I think it is also important to note that all of this is supposed to be applied to the situation we face today in the War on Terror. As much as we can argue history (Lord knows I know the signifigance of it and how it applies to today) we must also think about the here and now and see what we can make of it.
