Chua responded to a brief message I sent her introducing myself and asking for an interview bysaying that she was glad to hear from me, as she'd been looking for a way to discuss her misgivings about the Journal article. Apparently, it had been edited without her input, and by the time she saw the version they intended to run, she was limited in what she could do to alter it.

Ok, I refuse to believe that a Professor of Law at Yale University would not make sure she knew EXACTLY what was to be printed before allowing the article to be written. Methinks she was trying to use controversy to sell some more books and knew exactly what was going on.
