Jim,
I'm no apologist for Chomsky. He may be a "liar." His faculties may be damaged by age. He may appreciate that the threat posed by revelations of the truth of JFK's murder and the motives of his murderers would undermine the very foundations of his world view.
Or any combination thereof.
What remains clear to me is that nowhere in his analysis does Chomsky allow for JFK's spiritual growth.
One is left to wonder how Chomsky would account for the spiritual evolution of, say, John Donne. What would Chomsky offer to explain the fact that the author of Elegy XVIII and Death Be Not Proud (Holy Sonnet X) are one and the same?
Once I was lost. Now I'm found.

If an individual, through either his own volition or events over which he had no control, found himself taking up residence in a country undefined by flags or physical borders, he could be assured of one immediate and abiding consequence: He was on his own, and solitude and loneliness would probably be his companions unto the grave.

You can't blame the innocent, they are always guiltless. All you can do is control them or eliminate them. Innocence is a kind of insanity.
