Avram Noam Chomsky the 82 year old US philosopher and social activist who recently released an article on the Bin Laden killing, has come under criticism from author journalist Christopher Hitchens relating to Chomsky’s moral equivalence of the Abbottabad raid to a hypothetical Iraqi commando assassination of George W Bush and the dumping of him at sea. Chomsky had used the comparison to highlight the Abbottabad operation as violating norms of international law to assassinate an unarmed ‘suspect’ who had never been brought to trial. Chomsky who believes Bush’s crimes exceed those of Bin Laden, and is not a ‘suspect’ but clearly the one who gave orders to commit international war crimes against Iraq resulting in hundreds of thousands of deaths, destruction of the country, and a bitter sectarian conflict.
