Title: So many mistakes - so little time!
Review: Many reviewers miss the lack of substance herein while breathlessly sharing its contents. For instance, there's the myth of CIA support of Bin Laden and the Taliban."Bin Laden was vigorously involved in that campaign as a field commander and was aided directly by the CIA," for instance. Both the CIA and Bin Laden's own family have denied any connection, as reported by The Independent, London (October 2001?).Another cannard is that Afghanistan's Hamid Karzi consulted for oil companies prior to the Bush Administration's elevation to leadership - once "again" proving that "it's all about oil!" This was reported in a respected French newspaper in November-December 2001, and the myth took off. It was never sourced however, never subsequently nailed by the Paris newspaper, and Karzi has adamatly denied it stating that no one from that newspaper has ever asked him about it!This is just a couple of too many myths to explode in Chomsky's oh-so -over 15 minutes of fame.
Is the review positive or negative?
