"To compare it with the Holocaust or Auschwitz is an insult to the truth," Prof Vellut said.
 "We need to put our history in perspective and be cautious."

Many of the specific allegations cannot, he conceded, be disputed but he argued that discovering
 the precise scale of the atrocities would be difficult. 

"Statistics for that period are very unreliable. One hardly knew what the population was.
You can see figures which make the Jewish slaughter pale in comparison. Who knows whether
10m or 15m Congolese were killed?"

an insult to the truth? this is all about if we
topped the guinness record of genocide, right. and if we didn't, then
comparing it to the holocaust is an "insult to the truth". nothing
compares to the holocaust. we're talking killing savages here, please,
not westerners. so it's only comparable if you at least equal the 6
million mark, you know.
 thank you Prof Vellut.
You 're just the example i was looking for. Sven Lindqvist's "Exterminate all the
brutes" (http://www.thenewpress.com/books/extermin.htm) was written
about the long line of pigs that leads to your sorry ass.
