Very interesting question.

I find Chomsky interesting not for the details he provides but for the
things he makes you think about.  Several of my favourite examples...

Iraq was using chemical weapons against Iran, and the Kurds, even as we
(and everyone else it would seem) were arming him.  Then he invaded a
small fiefdom and became the next Hilter over night without any real
comments or discussion in the media.

Similarities between Vietnam and Afganistan.  That is install puppet
regime, be invited in, ... ;)

The idea that the US enforces international law, yet when you look at
the records...

The talk of atrocities in Cambodia.  So far I've never seen it
mentioned that the US killed 600,000 Cambodians.  When Chomsky said
this I thought the guy was nuts.  I looked up the information, and
found it detailed by several CIA historians, talk about hiding facts in
the open.  Why wouldn't the media at least mention this in passing,
that's spooky.
