MIT Professor of Linguistics Noam Chomsky, a long-time left-wing writer and activist, told Al-Jazeera that he does not believe President Barack Obama has a “moral center,” and that he is running a “global assassination campaign” using drone warfare. ------ In an interview on Saturday, Jan. 12, with Al-Jazeera’s Rosiland Jordan, Chomsky was asked, “Does President Barack Obama have a moral compass? And if he does, is he ignoring it at his own peril, at the country’s peril?” ------ There’s some nice rhetoric here and there but you look at the actual policies, they’re pretty shocking,” Chomsky said. “The drone assassination campaign’s a perfectly good example. It’s just a global assassination campaign.”
