CHOMSKY: You should be ashamed for lying about what is in
the book, because nothing is said -- in fact, the quote was
just given, nothing can justify the terrorist attacks of
September 11. You just heard the quote, if you want to
falsify it, that's your business.

BENNETT: No -- well, I...

CHOMSKY: Just a minute -- did I interrupt you? Did I
interrupt you?

<snip>

CHOMSKY: I don't. I choose to live in what I think is the

horrendous terrorist acts and should stop.

BENNETT: I think you should say greatest -- I think you

CHOMSKY: If you want to be a hypocrite...

(CROSSTALK)

BENNETT: I think you should acknowledge its virtues a little
more often, Mr. Chomsky.

CHOMSKY: And you should acknowledge its crimes.

BENNETT: I do. Read my book. You will see it.

CHOMSKY: No, you never do. No, sorry. And if you want to...

CHOMSKY: If you want to know what I say, do not listen to
Mr. Bennett's falsifications of which I just gave an
example.
