Have you listened to his criticism of american foreign policy? I disagree with his views on a number of things, but his logic is generally sound. He's a gate keeper on conspiracy theories but i think he realizes that he would lose credibility with the idiotic public. This pisses off Corbett.

He introduced me to libertarian socialism, and the reality of american actions in the world, so I appreciate that side of him. He's a influential human rights advocate.

I'm also interested in language and the study of the human mind, so he has a lot of insight there.

I can't fault him for not getting involved in conspiracy related issues. He has too much to lose and does excellent humanitarian work in other areas.

Important Edit: He also coauthored "The Manufacture of Consent" with Ed Herman, which revolutionized the worlds perception of the media and propaganda. That one accomplishment should make him a conspiracy fan A-Lister.
