Ah, the ol' rhetorical strategy of throw a label at an opponent rather than address an argument. Take it, c2, as a given of the craft that Hersh has strong ties with many CIA personnel. No one who knows anything about investigative reporting disputes that. You can argue that Hersh naively believes his sources (Bill) or that his sources only have axes to grind and so shouldn't be believed (I think that's uw's position), but you can't argue he doesn't have quite a few such sources.

I don't have to name the sources. David Remnick, the present editor of The New Yorker, has that obligation. Since their reputation is on the line, my guess is they have done so.

Oh, his stories have stirred the waters. Officialdom reacts or his sources would dry up and he would go unpublished.

My friend, you are just flailing because you do not like the message.
