Contents 1 recent changes: March 06 2 April deletion of link to Discussion Chomsky Chapter in 'Do As I Say...' 3 May 11 changes - 4 quotations

[edit] recent changes: March 06

Nice changes to this page! One issue though: I removed this line from the very end of this article:

"Further, it has been pointed out that the Pentagon is a taxpayer-driven institution and therefore is not an issue of conflict or hypocrisy, nor should reflect any ideology simply based on a source of funding."

I did so because it sounds like it is trying to prove someting, and really might need to be rewritten to sound more matter-of-fact. This is just my opinon, and maybe whomever put this quote on can just make it sound a bit less like someting is trying to be proven.

[edit] April deletion of link to Discussion Chomsky Chapter in 'Do As I Say...'

Whoever deleted the external link to the discussion of the chomsky chapter 'do as i say...', please justify why the link should be removed before you do so. This link contains mere unbiased commentary on that best selling book, and therefore seems entirely relevant as a link on this wiki page. Your merely deleting the page makes it appears as if you are trying to hide information rather than allow for mere discussion of Schweizer's book.

[edit] May 11 changes -

Since someone didn't see why accepting money from the Pentagon would be hypocritical for Chomsky, I spelled out exactly how Schwiezer made the connection. Also, it appears that the person who posted Chomsky's pick-and-choose reply is more familiar with Chomsky's books than they are with Schweizer's. Since I've actually read Do As I Say..., I thought I'd add some facts and background to the article. I also changed the part about Schweizer "labeling" his subjects as liberals. They are widely recognized as being influential to, or leaders of, the American liberal movement. Any attempt to deny that they are liberals is self-delusional.

Whomever put all the Chomsky quotations in this page really should cite them specifically, cuz if they don't, it just looks like they could all be made up: hey, Chomsky said this, said that, said the other thing, but I won't or can't tell you where and when he said it. The person who put these in really needs to cite them so we all can check them, or else they shoudl be deleted. They are hugely important.

[edit] quotations

I created the May 11 changes, so I will add the research footnote from Schweizer's book. If you really want to check the accuracy of what Schweizer says about Chomsky, perhaps you should read the book instead of depending on other Wikipedia contributors? Just a thought.
