RT: Are you convinced the prison camp’s closure is imminent?

DR: Not while President Obama takes this stance. The news will say ‘Well, he lifted the ban on the transfer of Yemenis.’ That’s a nice gesture. I have to say it’s a gesture, though, because as long as he blames Congress for not letting him transfer anyone it doesn’t matter. He was the one who imposed the obstacle in the first place. I just think this is an unfortunate speech because it was give an illusion of progress where there is no progress at all.

The US war on terror is in fact the most massive terror campaign ever, and the invasion of Iraq was the worst crime in recent history, prominent liberal thinker Noam Chomsky told RT, adding that he wants to see Bush, Blair and Obama tried at the ICC.
The ‘father of modern linguistics,’ Chomsky reflects on the language of the war on terror, coming to the conclusion that the freer the society, the more sophisticated its propaganda.
RT: As someone who was living in the aftermath of the Boston bombings, the chaos, what did you think of the police and media response to them?
Noam Chomsky: I hate to second guess police tactics, but my impression was that it was kind of overdone. There didn’t have to be that degree of militarization of the area. Maybe there did, maybe not. It is kind of striking that the suspect they were looking for was found by a civilian after they lifted the curfew. They just noticed some blood on the street. But I have nothing to say about police tactics. As far as media was concerned, there was 24 hour coverage on television on all the channels.
