ok maybe but like i said it could have been published by same guys.
'Then, with the irreplaceable help of Stephen Denney, an archivist with the UC Berkeley Indochina Center, I was able to obtain a transcript of the entire speech, which I have provided above.'

so as famous (or infamous) as chomsky is, those are the only sources in the entire world that chomsky even took a trip to n.v. during v. war?
to reiterate, this is the only time ive ever heard that chomsky traveled to n.v.
