I understand the point, but that point isn't what was written. What
was written was an example of the same kind of abuse of language that
you accuse CNN, NATO, and the US government of using. The important
point is that Chomsky's analysis can be applied to you and me as well
as NATO and CNN. The result is just as revealing.
