If this is true, people who leak this type of info, should be prosecuted and locked up, they may be jeopardizing the lives of our troops in enemy territory.
And if Hersh is spreading false rumors, just to make sure that we don't go into Iran, appropriate action should be taken against him too.
It's high time that we put national security as top priority and prosecute those who reveal classified information or those who try to give aid and comfort to the enemy.
I don't know if some, all or none of what the article says is true, but Hersh himself admits that the motivation is to keep us from doing what we need to do, when we need to do it.

Labeling a liar like Hersh a journalist is quite a stretch. He's making this up, just as he makes up most of his stories.

Seymour Hersh - Isn't he the a-hole who leaked the story about the GreenBreyer? He should have been hung then.

Hersh is never wrong. And leaks to him are always in the strictest of confidence. And we can be sure that he has our interests in mind.

Hersh is a far left fantasy writer who lives in some anti-US aquarium filled with opium or something. To say he's a kook is an insult to kooks everywhere.

"He said his information on Iran came from "inside" sources who divulged it in the hope that publicity would force the administration to reconsider."
In other words, the goal is to undermine national security on behalf of the enemy. Sounds traitorous to me.

I hope that we are at least keeping taps on the mullahs. I do really hope Bush takes a look at the predicted price tag of his actions if we attack. IMO, occupation should not even be considered. Money would best be spent on building up Afghanistan and Iraq. I'd prefer it if we just paid the locals to take out the bad guys in Syria or Iran.
To: FairOpinion
The Bush administration has been carrying out secret reconnaissance missions to learn about nuclear, chemical and missile sites in Iran in preparation for possible airstrikes there, journalist Seymour Hersh said Sunday. What's the problem? We'd be idiots if we didn't have contingency plans.

Can we please find and fire these people? I totally suppport our taking out Iran's WMD capability. Preventing any attack on Iran or Syria has been a side project of the left ever since we went into Afghanistan and Iraq. Causing our defeat in Iraq is their number one objective.

If ever there was an enemy of the state deserving of water-boarding, Seymour Hersh is it. Pour water up his snout until he spills his source.
To: FairOpinion
Actually, I hope old Seymour is correct. Poor guy's just trying to make a scoop out of the obvious.
We have contingency plans for just about everything. It wouldn't be prudent if we didn't. One doesn't know where the next hotspot will be, and you can't wait for it to happen and then start working up all the details needed to get your forces in place.
Plans for these contingencies are at various levels of preparedness, very detailed for foreseeable trouble spots (Israel, Korea), very general for less obvious areas (Bolivia, Timor). Three years before it happened, could you foresee us going into Panama, Grenada, Libya, Kuwait? No, but we still had some kind of plan in place for all of them - staging bases, supply lines, targeting.
Instaed of getting mad at old Seymour, we should be saying "Well, Doh!"
