This week on CounterSpin: a special conversation with long-time author, activist and linguist Noam Chomsky. His latest book is called Failed States; we'll talk about the state of democracy here in the United States, the so-called Bush doctrine of democracy promotion overseas, and we'll get his thoughts on the current Mideast crisis. All of that in an extended interview this week on CounterSpin.
