The problem on Chomsky's side is systematic, in my view. According to his Grand Theory of the supremacy of US foreign policy analysis over all other elements, the enemy of the US establishment is by default Chomsky's friend. We can go back to the wellknown Khmer Rouge and Faurisson examples but that's not necessary. Look at Kosovo and the way how he actively supported the corrupt nationalists around Milosevic. There is plenty of evidence for this. This googled URL is just a random one: http://www.newsandletters.org/Issues/1999/Dec/12.99_chomsky.htm The next casus is already in the making: Chomsky's support for Saddam Houssein.
