John: Do you think the Pulitzer Prize winning Hersh may be helping to uncover 'Golf of Tonkin II'...? Ellsberg may be right that history could be repeating itself. regards, -s2 btw, I'm still convinced that Congress shirked its responsibility BIG TIME last fall...they never had a robust and EFFECTIVE debate on the wisdom of a 'pre-emptive strike' on Iraq...I can really connect with these comments that Seymour Hersh made a few weeks ago... NEW YORKER COLUMNIST SY HERSH: 'NEVER SEEN MY PEERS AS FRIGHTENED' HARVARD CRIMSON - Journalist Seymour Hersh denounced the Bush administration's approach to Iraq last night after accepting the Goldsmith Career Award for Excellence in Journalism at the Kennedy School of Government's ARCO Forum. . . Hersh began his acceptance speech by portraying the difficulties that today's reporters face, especially in Washington. "I have never seen my peers as frightened as they are now," Hersh said. . . Hersh then turned his attention to the impending war with Iraq. Hersh said skepticism about a potential war is shared by many Washington insiders. "I have never seen such dissent even with three and four star generals. The war is particularly not popular with the marines," Hersh said. . . . "Congress has gotten so much dumber it's embarrassing," he said. "There has been a collapse of Congress. It's an incredible failure. A staggering failure."
