As the Senate Judiciary Committee voted today on the nomination of Alberto Gonzales for Attorney General, we hear a speech by investigative reporter Seymour Hersh on torture from Guantanamo to Abu Gharib to Vietnam.
Hersh is the author of 'Chain of Command: The Road from 9/11 to Abu Gharib.' He spoke last month at the Wise Free Synagogue in New York.
'The amazing thing is that we have been taken over by a cult of eight or nine neo-conservatives that have somehow grapped the government.'
'Just how and why they did it so efficiently, we will have to wait for much later hsitorians and better documentation than we have now, but they managed to overcome the bureaucracy, Congress, the press, with the greatest of ease.'
'You do have to wonder what a Democracy is when is comes down to a few men in the Pentagon and a few men in the White House having their way.'

Black Helicopter Alert.
Hersh has finally left the reservation. Even the New Yorker probably cannot keep him on now..
Someone better shut him up before he starts talking about the chem trails.
The link did not work for me.
Here's a clue. They made their case to the people, and the people found it compelling. Then we got a chance to listen to your tripe, Mr. Hersh, and we thought, "yuck!"
And so we voted for Bush again. It's pretty much that simple.
Isn't it illegal to "grape" a government?
Canada beckons. Be gone, Seymour.
Even the moonbat left will have to distance themselves from him now.
Amy Goodman is the queen of the moonbat left. She seems to think he's the bee's knees.
No, Hersh, will just get a promotion within his cult for "telling it like it is!"
The voices are coming from under the floorboards, Seymour. Remove, slowly, each floorboard, Seymour. One at a time...relax...take your meds....
Cy would move to Europe, he would find an enthralled audience over there..
They are coming to take him away... the little men in white coats
'Just how and why they did it so efficiently, we will have to wait for much later hsitorians....
Grapping Hsitorians?, Would this make them Grapists? O! the horror
On another note, would someone tell Mr. Hersh that we live in a Republic and not a democracy. Thank you
I had the feeling that Hersch was a member of a "cult."
I read his "interview." It sounds like a panicked rant with cult-like logically feeble connect-the-dot conclusions.
"Just how and why they did it so efficiently, we will have to wait for much later hsitorians and better documentation than we have now, but they managed to overcome the bureaucracy, Congress, the press, with the greatest of ease.'"
I had thought Hersch saw himself as overcoming the bureaucracy. His comment is telling, suggesting his information from whatever faction in the govt. is weak.
His Vietnamization of his argument is near Kerry-esque.
Dear Seymour: When you get a majority of the electorate on your side, then you can run the government. It's not a cult, it's the government the U.S. public voted for.
Thank you very much for the link. He sounds like a raving lunatic.
Let us not be hasty negative reactions on this "cult" deal. Cults are protected by the ACLU. Some cults sanction human sacrifice. As an "investigative reporter", I'll bet Seymour would love to infiltrate a secret cult meeting...
How can anyone consider him an objective reporter after stuff like this.
I mean anyone who goes into maniacal rantburg like this should not be trusted to produce articles for the mainstream press.
If you think about it, if the Iranians believed what he wrote last week, that could start a devasting war.
Shouldn't he be locked for national security or something?
Gonzales is anti 2nd amendment and pro abortion...heck you'd think the anti America
of our founders...would be happy to confrim him...
sheesh...

You just know the Left must be aching to embrace the Icke theory that the Bush family is infused with lizard blood down from outer space! |
His principle purpose in life is to dig up crap to fling at the Bush administration or any conservative in power.
"His Vietnamization of his argument is near Kerry-esque."
Did Hersh mention that he reported in Vietnam? :-)
So the majority of Americans (those who twice voted for Bush! and for republicans in Congress since Newt's Reformation in 1994) DID manage to overcome the bureaucracy, the PRESS, and the (lying democrats in) Congress.
Despite those times when the press TRIED to lead us in a different direction?
So, he's admitting the press IS deliberately against conservatives in general, and Bush in particular!
And, by the way, he's absolutely REJECTING the majority of Americans who recognized the democrats lies for what they are.

Now, be honest. You drank from the Cup of Scully didn't you? Oh yeah . . . |
Cup of Skully....hmmmm...I am in that line but she's gonna slap me cause I ain't puckering up for nuttin'...
tell Hersh to mention it at the next Bohemian Grove.
I agree. If Hersh really had information about secret operations in Iran, shouldn't he have kept it quiet?
Looks like he found his niche.
Ah Seymour, you should have read my longtime tag line. - Tom
Great graphic ~ Bump!
"grabbed"?
For a bunch of supposed important journalists they sure don't know how to spell.
Does anyone want to bet me that Hersh looks under his bed at night for the bogeyman? This guy doesn't just wear a tinfoil hat, folks...he wears the whole tinfoil suit!
Ah hell - the title led me to beleive that Hersh finally realized the Democrat Party has been taken over by the Cult of Moonbats.
I think -- I'm not sure --
the porn world has a word: "gapped"
Don't know what it means . . .
Did you read the whole article at the link? Sey Hersh sounds like he's losing it.
a. Incoherent.
b. Still living in My Lai, so to speak.
c. An out-and-out racist, who hates whitey.
A curious creature preserved in formaldehyde, straight out of the seventies...
That is EXACTLY what popped into my mind.
They're being driven so crazy (by righteousness and goodness, no less) that their masks of "moderation and reason" are dropping and their real selves are being exposed.
Surprise surprise (not), they are really what we've always perceived. Moonbats.
The Brits have their Robert Fiske.
And we have Seymour Hersh.
Personally I would rather have about a Dozen Jack Bauer types from the TV show "24" getting information out of these Terrorist suspects and preventing problems rather than waitng for the next shoe to drop like our Democrat friends would.
Headline:
Hersh jumps shark with neo-con conspiracy.
