Chomskys faulty "there was no JFK assassination conspiracy" logic

[Tracy Riddle]

Welcome to the forum, Steve. If history teaches us anything, it's that people in positions of power are generally risk-takers, often recklessly so. Most of the Kennedy men certainly qualify (especially the father and Joe Jr.), along with every other powerful, wealthy family. Go back to Alexander the Great, Hannibal, various Roman emperors, Napoleon, Hitler, etc. They have a very inflated opinion of themselves and their infalibility. Sometimes they become downright delusional. The CIA-led coups in Iran and Guatemala were basically giant bluffs using propaganda to great effect.

Chomsky just has ideological blinders that prevent him from fitting conspiracies into his framework.
