Where to Draw the Line...

So I found this story on CNN. Journalist Seymour Hersh said on-air during CNN's "Late Edition", maybe with Wolf Blitzer...what a name, that the United States was doing reconnaissance missions on possible nuclear targets for air-strike and short-term commando missions as early as this summer.

The White House released a report saying that his story was "riddled" with errors and that there were no such reconnaissance missions happening for these "air-strikes." However they did not make any mention to the commando missions that Hersh also talked about. Slight over-sight? Or a sneaky way of getting around the subject? It's hard to say but at the least I think it is worth questioning.

Hersh says that his sources come from very senior officials, and really why shouldn't you believe him? Or maybe a better question is, why should you believe the Pentagon? You're right what am I talking about, after all, the Iranians may be harboring Weapons of Mass destruction just like Iraq...oh wait...

Wow I guess you can find anything on the internet of you look hard enough. Too bad you aren't working for the Pentagon or the White House, they could use you to find stuff like this. Then maybe they should consider putting stuff like this to public knowledge so that this whole Iraq thing doesn't seem like a big mistake. Or maybe the reason that they it didn't make major news is because they paid for the planes with money that the US gave Iraq to fight Iran. Funny how things can come back to haunt you like that...
