The Hersh File
Once again Seymour Hersh wastes our time with an essay that would have been more suitable for a psychiatrist’s couch, accompanied by the question, “Doctor, why do I keep making up these things?” (More on Hersh from Ron Rosenbaum)

Jun 30, 2008 - 4:30 pm 2. dw:i heard mr hersh on npr today. he was potificanting with miss very gross, star of “stale air”. although miss gross can usually be found fawning over this or that hollywood personage, she was at her best today aiding hersh in bush bashing. iran, iraq, nukes, jews and the “damn bushies” were the major topics of the day. i for one think mr hirsch would be a bit more careful of his facts regarding what is happening in iran and what has taken place in iraq because of iran. but then mr hersh has been caught out time and again because of his lack of aquaintance with truthful matters. when the bush administration pops into his mind, he and miss gross both seem to loose all sense of themselves. my my…
Jun 30, 2008 - 10:15 pm 3. John Samford:Is there any truth to the rumor that Hersh was nominated for “New York State Vegetable”?
Jun 30, 2008 - 11:21 pm 4. dan:He is a permanent fixture on my dead pool list. Him and Jimma ‘peanut’ Carter. Getting either one right would sure take the sting out of losing.
i dream of a world in which some generous genius could devise a system of purging the US media from time to time without violating either the spirit or the letter of the First Amendment. o fond, foolish dan.

I don’t know what bunches Dr. Ledeen’s shorts worse — the possibility that Hersh might have better information and more reliable sources, or the thought that the US might actually be planning the attacks without asking Michael for his invaluable input on a war he feels quite proprietary about. Ledeen has an Ahab-like obsession with crushing Iran, possibly out of a deep personal need to “get it right” on just one war, sometime, somewhere, before even FoxNews writes him off as a crank. Iran is his last chance at vindication.
He’s an expert on Iran, you know. Just ask him. But don’t look took closely at his track record.
