I thought this was funny

 Noam Chomsky on bin Laden's death: "We might ask ourselves how we would be reacting if Iraqi commandos landed at George W. Bush's compound, assassinated him, and dumped his body in the Atlantic."

Mr. Chomsky may be a noted linguist and intellectual, but even as much as I disliked the work of George W. Bush, I have to point out that Chomsky has missed a significant difference - Bush was President of the United States and bin Laden was a known terrorist.  Just sayin'.
