They denied his story on the My Lai Massacre until they didn't.
Give him time; every other explanation has been laughable.
My Lai was a war crime and more should have been held accountable for it and trying to cover it up. Since then Hersh has gotten a lot wrong.
* Doubting Osama Bin Laden was involved in 9/11.
* IN 2004, saying at a ACLU conference the US in Abu Ghraib videotaped girls getting raped in front of their mothers. He has never produced those tapes.
* Osama Bin Laden was already in Pakistan custody. SEALS were just let in when they killed him.
Give him time; every other explanation has been laughable.
My previous posts on why Hersh's story does not add up and Russian reasons and means for sabotaging the Nord pipelines.

For what he gets right, his embellishing stories with questionable techno-thriller spy novel stuff brings his work into question. It takes away from what really happened, if what he says really happened.
To be fair, making sense of the covert, cover ups, and the criminal actions of government is not hard science either.
