So give me a link to a tenured academic who criticized the Khmer Rouge before December 1978.

Well I quite certainly do know what they said. And if you do not know what they said, then you are in no position to contradict me. If I say "no flying saucers exist", it is the job of those who doubt me to produce evidence of flying saucers And saying "My mother used to ride a flying saucer to Mars every morning on Sunday" is unconvincing. If your mother rode a flying saucer to Mars every morning on Sunday, drama would have ensued resulting in photographs of her boarding a flying saucer. And similarly, if a tenured academic criticized the Khmer Rouge before 1978 December, even behind closed doors with the curtains drawn and his voice lowered, someone would have ratted him out, and drama would have ensued, some of it in writing. And if you say, "Oh criticism of the Khmer Rouge was so common and routine that no drama would have ensued", then a tenured academic would have existed who criticized the Khmer Rouge *in* *writing* before 1978 December.
