An Eminence With No Shades of Gray: In a New Bestseller, Noam Chomsky Argues Against the War in Afghanistan

Date: May 5, 2002
Author: Michael Powell
QUOTE: To pick up the most powerful newspapers and intellectual magazines in the United States, to tune in the 463 television political babble-athons, is to conclude that Chomsky is invisible.

ABSTRACT: A brief but interesting profile of Noam Chomsky, the brilliant MIT linguist who has arguably been for many years the left's most prominent critic of US capitalism and foreign policy. Sample Chomsky positions: the United States is the world's leading practitioner of state terrorism, the US has no regard for the lives of non-Western people... some see a figure whose trademark logic has grown stale, but certainly most would concede that he's a highly important contemporary thinker with a large following (but is rarely covered by mainstream media).
