This is the way I view Chomsky's historical writing (he gets ultra-high marks for his real expertise: linguistics!): "Nope, none at all. Iraq had no ties to Al Qaeda" writes Chomsky, QUITE innaccurately. (edited to add: didn't Richard Clark publicly testify to same? Shame on you Richard!)...

http://www.mekong.net/cambodia/chomsky.htm A very very long article examining Chomsky's position on Cambodia and the Khmer Rouge. It comes with excerpts.
