Naom Chomsky writes again

Naom Chomsky is a professor at MIT and writes. That is like saying Einstein was a scientist. His last book was "Profit over People" in 1999. His new one came out today. "Failed States: The Abuse of Power and the Assault on Democracy". Excerpts from it and interviews are all over the place. I will quote from a passage here and sent you off to where others have to a greater extent.
I am a new fan of Professor Chomsky. Until 6 months ago, did not know of him at all. The movie "Noam Chomsky - Rebel Without a Pause" changed that. The man thinks, it is a shame more Democrats can't seem to find their own conscious. We, as a Country, are in deep trouble. Time to stop fucking around tweaking the lobbist rules and throw them out of the temple. Quit looking at polls and look toward centure and impeachment . Time to stop pussyfooting before Bushes combined policies bankrupt us fiscally and morally.

"Democracy Now" conducted an interview. They have two halves of the interview recorded for your viewing pleasure. A total of close to two hours. They also have it in audio or printer friendly. 2d half

Tom Dispatch has an introduction to the book as well as excerpts. This was in turn quoted by "Truthout"

Here is a small excerpt concerning the aftermath of Bush's successful second invasion of Falluga.

How to Destroy a City to Save It

Gonzales's legal advice about protecting Bush from the threat of prosecution under the War Crimes Act was proven sound not long after he gave it, in a case far more severe even than the torture scandals. In November 2004, U.S. occupation forces launched their second major attack on the city of Falluja. The press reported major war crimes instantly, with approval. The attack began with a bombing campaign intended to drive out all but the adult male population; men ages fifteen to forty-five who attempted to flee Falluja were turned back. The plans resembled the preliminary stage of the Srebrenica massacre, though the Serb attackers trucked women and children out of the city instead of bombing them out. While the preliminary bombing was under way, Iraqi journalist Nermeen al-Mufti reported from "the city of minarets [which] once echoed the Euphrates in its beauty and calm [with its] plentiful water and lush greenery… a summer resort for Iraqis [where people went] for leisure, for a swim at the nearby Habbaniya lake, for a kebab meal." She described the fate of victims of these bombing attacks in which sometimes whole families, including pregnant women and babies, unable to flee, along with many others, were killed because the attackers who ordered their flight had cordoned off the city, closing the exit roads.
