Rather depends what's on his mind, yes? Well, yes and no. I don't know much about Hersh but I do recall he has some sort of reputation for talking freely without thinking about it too much. Not a great thing but not necessarily a terrible deficiency either. Depends on how that effects his journalistic work. There has been some writing that says his Kennedy book was effected by his intense dislike; but I've never seen much that you would consider strong evidence. As for his other opinions, since he's writing on the CIA right now and since the bulk of that work depends on the how good his sources are and the judgment about that appears to remain with David Remnick at The New Yorker, I'll stick with that. As you know, I read Novak regularly, consider his sourcing exceptional. But wouldn't walk down the street to get his political opinions. So I'm not terribly bothered. My guess is that you get any of these writers in certain kinds of moments, you get this kind of stuff.
