Noam Chomsky Thanked In Daniele Ganser's Nato's Secret Armies (operation Gladio Book) Options

This thread is related to an earlier post about the left and 9/11 found here: http://pilotsfor911truth.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=21584

I was recently reading Daniele Ganser's book, NATO's Secret Armies, which details the CIA- and NATO-created post-WWII "stay behind" networks which were implemented in the postwar era in western Europe as part of a "strategy of tension" to prevent the far left from assuming power through democratic processes. (Originally, it was intended, or so it's been said, to have been used only in the case of an actual Soviet invasion, to bolster resistance lines, etc.)

Here's a quote from the introduction:

"Furthermore, my gratitude goes to Washington-based CIA author William Blum, who first drew my attention to Gladio and taught me a lot on covert action and secret warfare. Very warm thanks also go to Professor Noam Chomsky in Boston who not only encouraged my research, but also provided me with valuable contacts during our meetings in the United States and in Switzerland."

Chomsky endorsed the book thusly:

"Put briefly, the “stay-behind” armies of Western Europe – originally organized to fight in the event of World War III – morphed into substantial clandestine political forces with deep roots in European police and intelligence agencies. According to parliamentary investigations, the stay-behind veterans of Gladio appear to have made and broke governments. Elsewhere, they provided channels for intelligence operations and other relationships largely unknown to the elected leaders of a half dozen democratic states. This is important stuff."

Does anyone else have a problem with the disconnect here? It's OK to endorse exposes of covert intrigues abroad, but the suggestion that 9/11 or any number of "lone nut" killings in the U. S. could be CIA-related is "tin foil hat" territory?

I must be on to something. I started to debate the guy who posted the third video, and within three rounds, he closed comments on the video, deleting all 650+ comments in the process. Echoes of the Infoshop incident are here.

Jeez, I just saw one of his "answers" to you at his home page..

This video isn't about Chomsky trying to prove the official story or not this video is about conspiracy theorists, hence its title. I didn't title it "Noam Chomsky discusses the 9/11 Official Story""

What a crock.
