REMEMBERING CHOMSKY

When I saw the book il Duce Chavez was holding up in the UN it reminded me of one of the other great things Chomsky did. And that was along with William Kunstler, to lobby for the release of Susan Rosenberg. Susan was a member of the Weather Underground. In 1981 she drove the getaway car after her gang robbed a Brinks truck in Nanuet, New York in which guard Peter Paige and two police officers Edward O' Gray and Waverly Brown where killed.
Susan was also involved in the escape from prison of joanne Chesimard, sentenced to life for killing a New Jersey State Trooper. She was finally caught in 1984 in a warehouse in New Jersey where she was unloading 640 lbs of explosives and in the possession of fourteen firearms.
And if you remember she was given a pardon by Bill Clinton on his last day in office. Oh yeah in September of 91 he also pardoned fourteen members of the FALN
Hugo Chavez, Norm Chomsky, Clinton all one in the same
