| 12:30pm-3pm - Chomksy: "Distorted Morality: America's War on Terror?" Noam Chomsky--scholar, founder of the modern science of linguistics, philosopher, political and social analyst, author, and media critic--is shown in two fascinating, post 9/11 lectures, in which he presents the idea that the idea of a war on terror is a logical impossibility. The first lecture was given at Harvard University JFK School of Government. The second was held at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where Chomsky has been a professor for over forty years.
