I know what you mean but the exceptions talked loudest and also reflected a genuine conflict I think among people with an Any One But America stance on foreign policy. Back then I hasten to add. Not now. IIRC were certainly plenty of British academics who were Pol Pot apologists for example but I would have to trawl back through more than my muddled memory banks to substantiate that! The whole Caldwell thing was not an exceptional case I don't think. Not just Brits either.
