Demcracy Now ^

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.'

Hersh has finally left the reservation. Even the New Yorker probably cannot keep him on now..
To: Spok
Someone better shut him up before he starts talking about the chem trails.

'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.' 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.

Taken over by a cult? Oh, shi'ite, you haven't seen the cult yet...what you are looking at is a basket of puppies compared to the cult of Islam...which is spawning all over the world as we speak.

I wouldn't count on it. This is pretty much what the moonbat Left believes: that some strange cult has taken over. Hence the moonbattiness! ;)
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....

".... 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....
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.
