I just watched part of Wolf Blitzer's interview of Seymoour Hersh on CNN's Late Edition about Hersh's New Yorker magazine article published today...
..And Hersh believes, it seems, that there is a sinister method to Bush's madness in characterizing these various operations as primary military rather than intelligence: it will allow him to circumvent legal restrictions imposed on the CIA's covert actions overseas...
So far, it appears that the White House is denying the factual accuracy...
They should, regardless of whether it's true or not, if our national security interests are to mean anything...
Can you imagine the kind of journalistic ethic we are operating under that would celebrate, rather than condemn, the type of report that Hersh has just belched forth?
Hersh's report -- true or not -- is shameful and disgraceful and people should call him to the carpet for it. I suppose we'll see the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post, and other MSM dinosaurs railing against this over the next few days. It's time that the New Media jumped all over this and called into question Hersh, the Old Media and their unpatriotic reporting here.
Don't forget the NY Times' puppet - The Boston Glob.
