Noam Chomsky is one of the world's most prominent and controversial public intellectuals.
He is an internationally renowned professor of linguistics, but he is also a longstanding critic of US foreign policy and the influence of big business over the American government.
When he published his first political critique 40 years ago, he was fired up by the war in Vietnam.
Today he is still raging against America's influence and calls the war in Afghanistan "immoral". He spoke to Stephen Sackur.

This is some UGLY journalism by the BBC. The Interviewer is patronising and self righteous. The answers given are edited to add an apparent slant to the whole program.
A serious hatchet job.

I don't agree. I think Sakur gives always people a rough ride and when the interviewee comes out well they look good as Chomsky does. I think Sakur knows his questions are loaded...he just wants an intelligent guest to handle them.

Asking condescending questions is not "giving someone a rough ride", it is a facsimile thereof. To be "giving him a hard time" the interviewer should be taking apart, if it's possible, the answers. Mostly, in this style of interview (now widespread in the BBC) the interviewer asks a question, listen to the answer and then ignores it and asks another immature and silly question, ignores the answer, sticking stubbornly to the "initial premise". If I'd known it was the BBC (I don't watch enough telly to know what "Hardtalk" is) I wouldn't have bothered to download it. The BBC don't believe their audience is capable of listening to answers of the sort Chomsky usually gives.

Or rather, the BBC likes to pretend its audience isn't capable of listening to the sort of answers Chomsky usually gives.

Gotta agree. This was a terrible interview and it certainly wasn't because of Chomsky. The interviewer speaks more than the person who is being interviewed. Not good work.

Such a waste of time for poor Noam, it must be insanely frustrating for him (as it is for anyone else watching with half a brain). The interviewer throws mis-informed questions and assumptions at him, and he is expected to rebut, and he's not given enough time to say anything anyway. Better just to stfu and let the man speak! Sheesh!
