Hm. Then it makes Chomsky a more intriguing persona considering this:

In his office hallway, Chomsky has a poster of Bertrand Russell. 
A quote at the bottom of it says: "Three passions, simple but 
overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for 
love, the search for knowledge and unbearable pity for the
suffering of mankind." 

But, agree, the passage lures us away from Foucault; no responses
please.
