第3巻第4章 バートランド・ラッセル平和財団
(松下注:米国の「国益」の立場から,New York Times その他の米国の報道機関は,ラッセルらは「客観性の乏しい証拠」をもとに「反米活動」していると批判した。それに対抗するためにラッセルは,New York Times 自らが日々報道してきた事実や証拠を積み上げることによって,米軍の戦争犯罪を暴こうと努力したことをここでは言っている。) |
v.3,chap.4: Foundation Schoenman's reports were of extreme importance since they contain not only first-hand observation but verbatim accounts given by victims of the war attested to both by the victims themselves and by the reliable witnesse present at the time the accounts were given. The reports also paved the way for the more formal investigations conducted in Indo-China by teams sent by the International War Crimes Tribunal. lt was in part upon such reports as Schoenman's and of those of Christopher Farley who, in November, 1964, was the first member of the foundation to go to Vietnam to obtain first-hand impressions, that I base my attitude and statements in regard to the Vietnam war, as well as upon reports of other special investigators. Chiefly, however, I base my opinions upon the facts reported in the daily newspapers, especially those of the United States. These reports seem to have been published almost by chance since they appear not to have affected editorial policy. |
