Host, I have read the 13 page letter, numerous interviews and watched Mike Wallace make a fool of himself. If you read and listen to his words carefully, he isn't denying the Holocaust but confronting the wrongs of WWII and asking why the Palestinians were required to give up their land to right those wrongs. He is repeatedly misquoted in our press about the whole "wipe Israel off the map" as well. With careful reading of his actual statement, you might conclude that he was in fact referring to a true "map" rather than the Jewish people.
In response to the OP, I absolutely agree that we need to become more knowledgeable about foreign heads of government rather than accepting without question what our media chooses to report. Chavez may appear to be the clown, but his influence in the nonaligned countries in South America is profound.
