Chomsky didn't argue that 9/11 was a conspiracy; he argued that it was an expected consequence of US actions overseas. In other words, it wasn't "they hate us for our freedom," it was "they hate us because the CIA helped take their freedom." One can disagree with that (I find it a bit simplistic) but comparing it to someone who thinks 'Jews did 9/11' is a pretty gross mischaracterization of the argument.

"Chomsky" didn't say sh about 911. That's a line someone throws out to try to sound smart. Having said that, maybe someone said what you said. You make some interesting points. Next time, I would like to hear what Sherm thinks. You got this buddy. No need for universal grammer among friends. ...and any reasonable discussion against a conspiracy has got my vote.

There was literally an entire book of Chomsky saying stuff about 9/11 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/9-11_(book)
