The main point is not whether Chomsky said they where precise

No, that is exactly the point the slanderer was trying to make.

rather that Chomsky said that the attacks probably lead to tens of thousands of deaths, when apparently they only directly led to one death, and there is no evidence of any large scale indirect deaths resulting from the attacks.

Exactly. Chomsky said there is no evidence, because nobody has bothered to investigate. Estimates run in the tens of thousands.

one of Chomsky supposed sources, Human Rights Watch, never claimed what Chomsky said they claimed.

Chomsky's words in the phone interview were not clear. His book was clear and perfectly accuarate. Of course, the slanderer pretends that Chomsky has not cleared up this issue.

It's particularly noteworthy that the slanderer analyzes Chomsyk's brief phone interview, instead of the book Chomsky wrote on the topic. That by itself reveals quite a bit about this slanderer.
