Peter Fay Thanks for that posting...

I was wondering when we'd here from him ("where's Chomsky when we need him?" http://mailman.lbo-talk.org/pipermail/lbo-talk/Week-of-Mon-20110502/005312.html), as I suspected what I was saying about the prime importance of the violation of international law would be similar to his view. Turns out, it was even more so than I anticipated. The very first line from Chomsky was: "It’s increasingly clear that the operation was a planned assassination, multiply violating elementary norms of international law." Likewise his views on the impact of the assassination on anger at US in Asia and the Muslim world...

^^^^ CB: However, Chomsky is does not uphold the international law standard in the UN conventions on outlawing fascistic racist speech in that he opposes that type of law in France. France in line with international law. Chomsky is not.

^^^^

Not sure how anyone could pretend otherwise.

Once again, he is right on the money and always is a pleasure to read.
