Noam Chomsky joins 9/11 "Jersey" widows in calling for release of 9/11 documents

by Joseph Murtagh - The Muckraker Report (Posted by Bill Douglas)

http://www.opednews.com

February 14, 2007 -- Noam Chomsky has signed a petition written by the 9/11 “Jersey” widows calling for the release of classified documents relating to the 9/11 attacks.

The Muckraker Report has contacted him by e-mail and verified that the individual listed on the petition is indeed Noam Chomsky. Chomsky’s name is #6432:

That said, now that Chomsky has agreed to sign the widows’ petition, the Muckraker Report would like to see the following people sign too: Alexander Cockburn and crew at Counterpunch, the editorial staff at the Nation, Michael Moore, Barbara Ehrenreich, Amy Goodman, Maureen Dowd, Frank Rich, Seymour Hersh, Nicholas Leman at the New Yorker, Christopher Hayes, anyone who writes for the Daily Kos, including Kos himself, and the absolutely divine Camille Paglia.

1. A list of "Who's" NOTS!
People who ought to know better but who don't.

People who are so very scared of opening that secret box and have all the evils of bushco come pouring out. Why are they scared? Because then they'd be shown to be the mealy mouthed twits they really are.

What you don't know can't hurt you, they must be thinking.

We don't know the half of what happened on 911, and too many folks don't want to know. And therefore help too keep bushco in power.

3. Noam Chomsky, the Gubmint's favorite critic?
If Chomsky's involved, there's gotta be a catch somewhere. He's a left gatekeeper, a progressive pied piper who's job is to lead progresssives to the acceptable criticisms of the government -- nothing that would rouse the masses. The Warren Report, the 9/11 Commission -- he always sides with the government on the most serious crimes. This might be a limited hangout strategy or there's more than meets the eye here (well, less actually).

4. Say what?
You don't think the truth is wanted to be known?

5. For a scathing critique of Chomsky on 9/11...

Edit to add:

To help avoid confusion, please note that this article by Joseph Murtagh at the Muckraker Report is dated 2-14-07.

In his latest round of enthusiasm, Bill Douglas, who has lately become somewhat of a thorn in the side through his ceaseless promotion of Steve Alten's novel "The Shell Game", fails to mention that the article is a year old. He also fails to mention that the petition in question is closed to further signatures at this time. :eyes:

Not blaming you, kpete, but be careful. If anyone has communications over at OpEdNews, they might want to alert Rob Kall.
