JohnM, catching up. How does he get, logically, from this paragraph

Definitely garbled, Frank. And thanks for digging up the two paragraphs.

It sounds like two guys sitting around the bar chatting in which the structure is not paragraphs but some sort of stream of consciousness.

I gather he means to say that there is always a subplot of racism in American foreign policy. Since WWII, the US has not bombed any white people, so says Hersh and thus it's not surprising we don't really care about the Afghans. Just more racism.

It's a point of view and I've had some conversations like that.

I continue to feel that Hersh simply forgot the tape was running.

On the other hand, you can get from the structural disorganizaton of his most recent New Yorker work to the similar style of this interview, real quick.

Odd guy.
