I agree with you Albert, no one and no wrong claim should go unchallenged, even Chomsky. On the other hand, that's why I'm challenging the claim that the man is a spooky "Gatekeeper". Do you remember where you saw/heard Chomsky profess some skepticism on the assassination? . I'd love to see it as I can't imagine him saying anything that could allow the established media to lump him in with "buffs", "nuts" and "truthers". If that is his strategy, I can live with it. If he ever went so far as to claim that JFK had a thousand mistresses and was doped up and was the one pushing for ground troops in Vietnam or something, that would be a whole different story. Jim D.'s criticism of Seymour Hersh's highly dubious book seems relevant to this discussion, it seems, as his published work didn't seem to indicate a typical right wing assault on the critical community. I should look up the other writers Nathaniel mentioned a few pages back as gatekeepers, as well.
