Pity then that when confronted with Sackur's "fact" about Taliban-sheltered Jihadists from Afghanistan being responsible for 9/11, Chomsky only meekly responds that that is his belief too, with only the proviso that it's "only a belief".
Chomsky could also have metioned that even five years after the event, the FBI still have no evidence linking Bin Laden to the crime of 9/11.

There can be no serious opposition to the Afghan war without first addressing its mythical cassus belli. With his cagey answer here, it seems Chomsky may have finally begun to understand this.
