Noam Chomsky (born December 7, 1928) is one of the world's most prominent and controversial public intellectuals. He is an internationally renowned professor of linguistics at MIT. You can find some about his political views here. You can see an interview with him on HardTalk and his view about 9-11. And here is his website and his profile on NNBD. "Noam Chomsky’s books are in print, much of his writing is Web-accessible, and there are his steady contributions to Z magazine. He can be viewed on film, video, and in cyberspace. But Chomsky is not a seer, nor is he prone to dispensing easily quotable maxims. What is to be done, of course, is up to us."
