I will be interested to see in the years to come, if Mr. Hersh is proved correct. He does have quite a reputation as an investigational journalist. If he is accurate, you would expect to see the protests about his work as the government tries to protect sources and methods.

SH has a ~50% accuracy rate. About half the time his stories blow up. Half the time he nails it. Makes it difficult to believe him without other sources.
I read about most of this until I ran out of time last night. Might be real. SH does make some rookie errors describing things and/or repeating what his sources say. I would say that SH seems a mite credulous regarding middle eastern sources.

Hersh has major problems with credibility and honesty. Well, for that matter, so does barack hussein. I call it a draw.

The photo of him at his desk really cracks me up.

Prolly a stock photo. The book was published in '98. The tape recorder may also be a clue, though I suppose old newsmen might still use them today.
