From interviews broadcast on October 17, 2002 and archived at <http://www.leftbusinessobserver.com/Radio_1.html#021017>:

"This is a monster who has been created and backed by the West. On the left, he's been hated for ages. He's a pitiless and ruthless dictator."

- Tariq Ali, starting at 12:56

"Saddam Hussein and bin Laden are both monsters, but they're very different kinds of monsters. Saddam Hussein is secular; Osama bin Laden is a religious fanatic.... No links have been found, but they're both monsters."

- Noam Chomsky, starting at 3:07
