Not a regular follower of Mr. Hersh, but he is credited with breaking:
1. My Lai Massacre - denied by the gov, later turned out to be 100% accurate, so the gov lied [Got a Pulitzer when it meant something]
2. Various advancements in the Watergate story - denied by the gov, later turned out to be 100% accurate, so the gov lied
3. Abu Graib - denied by the gov, later turned out to be 100% accurate, so the gov lied
Now sticking his neck out on the US/Norway operation to sabotage three of four pipelines, causing massive environmental damage and an overt act of war against Germany and Russia. Pearl Harbor level. Story is full of details so if he’s lying, then wow!, what a whopper. But then again he’s not the proven liar in this exchange, now is he?
Watching to see if there is any collaboration on the story.
No one says anything refuting specific details, only trashing the author.
That says plenty.
