Digging a little -- an article (from 2009) about an interview (2005) that paraphrases the interviewee is a little suspect. Chomsky's take on the interview, in his words: "Even when the words attributed to me have some resemblance to accuracy, I take no responsibility for them, because of the invented contexts in which they appear."
I dunno, that example is at least 3 steps removed (interviewer, editor, article writer) from a source that already speaks plenty clearly and doesn't need much more than to be read honestly.
