Three points:
1) Ad Populam is a 2500-year-old Greek logical fallacy, so his plethora
of citations contribute not one whit to his credibility on this issue.
2) Many of his citations have to do with both his more legitimate
(although hotly disputed and currently out of favor) academic work and
his other anti-american prounciamentoes.
3) It would be interesting to analyze his post-9/11 citations to discover
what percentage of them were disparaging or refutational; my guess is
that the percentage would be high.
