While Chomsky is no doubt quite intelligent, I... well, I don't care for him, let's leave it at that. But he evidently retains some connection to reality, as opposed to the 9/11 CT crowd.

A much milder analog to this is U. Maryland physicist Bob Park's dismissal of the Apollo hoax notion. He thinks manned space flight is an enormous waste of time and money. But he also points out that we certainly did walk on the Moon. James Van Allen also came to think of manned space flight as wasteful, but also refuted the HB crowd directly.

It just goes to show that whatever your political leanings, it doesn't help your cause to believe in things that simply aren't so.
