Chomsky on 9/11, and others.

Noam Chomsky: Hard for me to respond to the rest of the letter, because I am not persuaded by the assumption that much documentation and other evidence has been uncovered [about a 9/11 conspiracy]. To determine that, we'd have to investigate the alleged evidence. Take, say, the physical evidence. There are ways to assess that: submit it to specialists -- of whom there are thousands -- who have the requisite background in civil-mechanical engineering, materials science, building construction, etc., for review and analysis; and one cannot gain the required knowledge by surfing the internet. In fact, that's been done, by the professional association of civil engineers. Or, take the course pursued by anyone who thinks they have made a genuine discovery: submit it to a serious journal for peer review and publication. To my knowledge, there isn't a single submission.

a good article on 9/11...

    Chomsky is a leftist gate keeper. A.K.A. a Fraud.

    The first guy feels left out because Chomsky doesn't agree with him on everything. He devoted an entire web page listing all the issues where he and Chomsky disagree but rarely cited any evidence to back up his claims. The guy could learn a few things from Chomsky...like, how to present an argument for one.

    The second guy doesn't have his facts straight either...

    "Chomsky is one sharp cookie, to be sure, but is the Harvard professor really the liberal, leftist, anti-government 'critic' that we are led to believe he is, or does he function more as a gatekeeper, feigning the role of muckraker and champion of injustice, while all the time carrying water for the very power structures that he claims to rail against? "

    Last I checked Chomsky was a professor at MIT, and has been for many decades.

    I love how some people who disagree with Chomsky counter his arguement by attacking him instead of countering by presenting an argument supported by facts.
