wait Chomsky said there is no valid analysis of 9/11? I have 2 books on the topic by him saying that 'America deserved 9/11' in short.

He says there is no useful parapolitical analysis of 9/11 as either a "let it happen on purpose" or "made it happen on purpose" event. "America deserved it" and "blowback" theories actually serve to obscure the military-intel imperatives at work.

On JFK he actually says "it doesn't matter whether he was murdered by a conspiracy or not" which is completely and bizarrely wrong.
