But what Chomsky claimed was that the night time bombing of the aspirin factory was an atrocity which killed thousands of Sudanese civilians. His books and speeches are filled with such claims.

Hey, it's an argument. We've seen similar claims about other events made from a myriad of political perspectives on this thread. Chomsky's wrong on the number of deaths, best I can tell.

Chomsky may well be a respected academic in the linguistics field. But when it comes to history, politics, and current events he is merely a well-read amateur - with no more claim to fame as a "thinker" than a few of the folks who post on this thread - and whose views, as well, are colored by a very radical leftist idealogy.

As opposed to what, the radical rightist ideology we get more than a little of on this thread. Chomsky's views are Chomsky's views. Let's hear them; argue about them. Not say, geez I don't wish to hear views that are outside the mainstream.
