Terror Lord’s Lefty “Chum” Chomsky
[I wrote Noam, saying it must feel odd to be praised by ObL. His
answer: “Feels more odd to be mentioned in the same breath with the
ultra-hawk Michael Scheuer….”]

TERROR LORD’S LEFTY ‘CHUM’ CHOMSKY By ANDY SOLTIS
Osama bin Laden took time in his videotape rant to play literary
critic - plugging the writing of leftist MIT professor Noam Chomsky.
Chomsky is “one of the most capable of those from your own side,” bin
Laden said.
Chomsky is a bitter critic of U.S. foreign policy, which he equated
with terrorism in his 2003 book “Hegemony or Survival: America’s
Quest for Global Dominance.”
A year ago, Chomsky’s book got another boost when Venezuelan dictator
Hugo Chavez waved a copy of it during the notorious speech at the
United Nations in which he called President Bush “the devil.”
“I think that the first people who should read this book are our
brothers and sisters in the United States, because the threat is in
their own house,” Chavez said.
The book surged in sales as a result, vaulting from No. 160,722 on
Amazon.com to No. 7.
