Re: I don't believe he is being level-headed.

It's interesting to note how much his work has piqued your interest. He's succeeded in the role of pampleteer. <g>

I agree with you that he is addressing the emotions rather than the intellect. Precisely the technique of Little King George, as well. :)

Looking at one of his links, he cites another person who flagrantly lies about Chomsky's book:

<<< Therefore, Chomsky further concludes, the people who say NSAM 273 shows a change in policy (Peter Dale Scott, John Newman, Arthur Schlesinger) are right ... >>>

geocities.com

Here is what Chomsky actually says:

<<< The two versions of NSAM 273 differ in no relevant way, apart from the weakening of paragraph 7 in the final version. Furthermore, the departure from NSAM 263 is slight, and readily explained in terms of changing assessments. >>>

Some more analysis on the virtually interchangeable NSAMs 263 & 273:
