Funny, your reading is totally different from mine. I read Chomsky as
stating that the perpetrators of this crime were at one point funded by
the CIA and that that is what makes it necesary to then analyze the
relationship between US foreign policy and this incident. Furthermore, his
argument is that if we don't face that issue, we will see many more of
these kinds of horrifying attacks. Hardly something that a reasonable
grieving relative of WTC tragedy would need an apology for. Indeed, though
pro-war persons like yourself like to ignore or cover up, a number of
victims' relatives have already publicly stated that thtey don't want
their grief to be used as an excuse for warmaking. That Chomsky
finds these organizations' actions repulsive is plain as day, I think
you're just looking for excuses to take on Chomsky. I think you've met
your match and then some...
