Not for me.
Chomsky has always found the myth of Camelot, of JFK as some kind of leftist freedom fighter, preposterous. I agree with him.
Another glorious non-sequitur - it would appear to be catching - only this time compounded by a straw man. Who exactly is arguing that Kennedy was a left-wing freedom fighter?
Is Chomsky's account of JFK's relationship with, and attitude to, the CIA honest, Jan? Yeah or nay?
Is it honest or acceptable to present an account of that relationship which omits any mention of, for instance, the fact that Kennedy removed senior leaders of the CIA in the wake of the Bay of Pigs? That he drafted three NSAM which effectively stripped the CIA of responsibility for covert ops of any significance at much the same time? To state but two of the major developments of 1961 alone is to expose Chomsky as a barefaced liar.
