A bigger issue is the centrist Democrats’ willingness to roll over for reactionary coups like 9/11 (and many other important concerns) but the closed-mindedness and insensitivity to legitimate political concerns that Noam Chomsky displays here has also helped to push desperate and angry people away from leftist thought and writings and into the arms of deceivers who are promising something new, something “beyond left and right.” The left’s general aversion to thinking in terms of “conspiracy” in preference for blaming a system is somewhat understandable, but it’s all in the semantics when you get down to it, a linguist like Chomsky ought to know better and in my opinion, he probably does.

Barrie Zwicker’s “The Great Conspiracy: The 9/11 News Special You Never Saw” is a nice overview of the reasons to doubt the official story of the 9/11 attacks. Here is some additional information on Philip Zelikow, executive director of the 9/11 Commission and a member of the Clinton-Bush transition team. It should also be noted that 1998, the year that Zelikow’s “Catastrophic Terrorism” was published, was also the year that the neocons’ Project for the New American Century group was beginning its push on Bill Clinton to attack Iraq and essentially begin the so-called “War on Terror” at that time.
