He's written a lot about the complicity of American public universities in various aspects of American Cold War interventions and adventures abroad - churning out weapons research in exchange for grants, FBI/CIA influence in scholarly journals and groups, maintaining liberal orthodoxies about foreign policy and anti-communism, etc. All of this while universities were/are perceived as bastions of radical thinking. What would Chomsky say is similar and different about the role of American universities in our current imperialist projects, Iraq, et al.?

My stint on the WBAi fundraising marathon is next Thursday, 3-6 PM. I've got an interview with Noam Chomsky lined up already, but I'm looking for another marquee name to add to the mix - preferably female, possibly a domestic complement to Noam on the empire. Any ideas?
Also, any questions you'd like me to ask Chomsky? We record tomorrow afternoon.
