It's a collection of interviews that we've all read. I found it disappointing. It also should have had footnotes.

>>> In 9-11 Noam Chomsky dissects the root causes of the
>>>September 11th catastrophe, the historical precedents for it, and
>>>the possible outcomes as the world moves forward into the
>>>post-September 11 reality.
>>>
>>> For Chomsky, the atrocities of 9-11 "are something quite new
>>>in world affairs," marking the first time since 1812 that the U.S.
>>>mainland was attacked (an important distinction from Pearl Harbor,
>>>which was U.S. territory, but effectively a colony). As Chomsky
>>>writes, "in the past half century particularly, [the U.S.] resorted
>>>to force throughout much of the worldŠ For the first time, the guns
>>>have been directed the other way. That is a dramatic change."
>>>Chomsky believes that the attacks have been harmful in ways that
>>>extend far beyond the initial death toll and ongoing national
>>>emergency. For example, he believes they represent "a devastating
>>>blow" to Israeli-Palestinian negotiations. Most importantly and
>>>provocatively, Chomsky argues that in the world after 9-11, it is
>>>no longer possible to hold our enemies to one standard, ourselves
>>>to another.
