My Lai was in 1968, John, almost 40 years ago. And, yes, the fact that he did good work then has nothing to do with what he is doing now. I know you're convinced the top dogs in the Administration are responsible for Abu Ghraib. Bush probably went to Abu Ghraib last Thanksgiving for a bit of S & M, right? Why not, the facts supporting such an outlandish notion are as established as those that suggest their responsibility for what actually happened. Hersh's reputation, in certain highly biased quarters, is in fact sterling. It is not so in many others.

Hersh' reputation, which is sterling, is not a part of the debate. Sterling like Paul Krugman, right? LOL... BTW, instructing others that an item "is not part of the debate" has probably outlived its utility (at least outside of the classroom)...

Hersh' reputation, which is sterling, is not a part of the debate. Sterling can tarnish, and so has Hersh's reputation. Just look at his gullibility, to put the best face on it: those Marilyn papers, the thousands of AQ the US supposedly evacuated to Pakistan. Have those Hersh reports checked out? Are you saying you still believe them? BTW, of course any reporters reputation is "part of the debate". Especially when a reporter has Hersh's track record and relies heavily on anonymous sources instead of evidence which his readers can check.
