Noam Chomsky: WikiLeaks Cables Reveal a"Profound Hatred for Democracy on the Part of Our Political Leadership"

Noam Chomsky is, and has always been, our nation's conscience. In an interview with Amy Goodman, a woman whom he trusts to represent our national dilemma honestly. At the beginning of his interview, she reminded her audience of Noam's significant contribution to the morality of our great nation. He is not only the author of over a hundred books including his latest: "Hopes and Prospects". Forty years ago, Noam and Howard Zinn helped government whistle-blower Daniel Ellsberg edit and release the Pentagon Papers, a top-secret US history of the Vietnam War. Noam mentioned to Amy that: "Dan and I were friends. Tony Russo prepared them and helped to leak them. After he received advance copies from Dan and Tony, there were several people who were releasing them to the press. Noam stresses that he did not modify anything about the contents, but ensured that the contents were in their original form. He also helped to prepare a fifth volume, featuring critical essays by many scholars, about the meaning of these contents, and their significance.
