Tonight at 10.  Maybe time to pause and learn some more.
Inside America's Empire'': Military expert Robert Kaplan travels around
the world to see how the U.S. defends against terror threats.  Kaplan is
a national correspondent for The Atlantic and the Class of 1960
Distinguished Visiting Professor in National Security at the United
States Naval Academy.

From Amazon Starting in the Fall of 2003, Robert Kaplan spent six
months with Special Forces teams all over the world and with a Marine
combat unit in Iraq. His goal was to understand the changing nature of
American war fighting techniques from the perspectives of non-coms and
junior officersThe United States military is in the process of
evolving to fight a new kind of war and Kaplan is there to chronicle
this transformation as it takes places in the jungles of Colombia and
the Phillipines and the deserts of Afghanistan, Yemen and Iraq. It is an
important story and more journalists need to be covering it.   13

untra-right wing jingoist.   But Chomsky has more than enough of his
own critics ( http://tinyurl.com/e6cxa http://tinyurl.com/e6cxa  ) ,
so I'm betting Kaplan is generically moderate.  I'll just look for
integrity no matter where he is on that continuum.

Sorry.   The correct link for that overview is   
_Click  here: Criticism of Noam Chomsky - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Noam_Chomsky)  
 
 
Note that to be fair and balanced, and politically correct here, I've  
provided access to criticisms of the epitome of ultra-left wingdom.
 
Also, note that it's an overview for laymen, not original sources, not for  
serious researchers or academics; but you can use the new tool to evaluate  
what's there. _http://tinyurl.com/yu8jyj_ (http://tinyurl.com/yu8jyj)
