Report: U.S. Conducting Secret Missions Inside Iran
22 minutes ago
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States has been conducting secret reconnaissance missions inside Iran to help identify potential nuclear, chemical and missile targets, The New Yorker magazine reported Sunday.
The article, by award-winning reporter Seymour Hersh, said the secret missions have been going on at least since last summer with the goal of identifying target information for three dozen or more suspected sites.
Hersh quotes one government consultant with close ties to the Pentagon (news - web sites) as saying, "The civilians in the Pentagon want to go into Iran and destroy as much of the military infrastructure as possible."
One former high-level intelligence official told The New Yorker, "This is a war against terrorism, and Iraq (news - web sites) is just one campaign. The Bush administration is looking at this as a huge war zone. Next, we're going to have the Iranian campaign."
The White House said Iran is a concern and a threat that needs to be taken seriously. But it disputed the report by Hersh, who last year exposed the extent of prisoner abuse at the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq.
"We obviously have a concern about Iran. The whole world has a concern about Iran," Dan Bartlett, a top aide to President Bush (news - web sites), told CNN's "Late Edition."

Perhaps Hersh would blow the "secret" cover of individuals, publish the "secret" map of targets, and give the "secret" pre-emptive dates and times IF he could.
Hersh may as well be working for al Jazeera.
Traitor.
The Dum moles are still at it in the Pentagon, trying to kill as many of our people as possible. Panties on the head is worth 10 years in prison. What is conspiracy to endanger the life of our troops worth. (a Pulitzer)
Wish we would declare war so traitors could be dealt with appropriately.
Well, if you and I can figure out that we're almost certainly doing covert ops in Iran, then the mullahs can too.
I guess it's no secret any more...geez!
Remember though, psyops is designed to make the enemy, very very afraid. CNN put out a story about an impending attack by our forces in Fallujah, and the enemy panicked. There was no imminent attack. Keep the enemy guessing, keep them sweating. Make them fear the night. Is there someone there?
Should be good for a lot of good guys getting butchered.

Or the New York Times.
Same difference, really.
SOme secret....Wonder if it's one of "Sandy's briefs"?
Looks like Israel only needs 36 F-22 as of today.
This entire article could be dezinformatsiya.
That's a good point.
Wasn't it Churchill who said the first casualty of war is truth?

If we aren't I would imagine that Israel is.
