Scott, I generally don't have a problem with Sy Hersh and I have been a diligent reader of The New Yorker for over thirty years. I'll probably pick up a copy of Hersh's book sometime next year. I always take his material with a grain of salt. Like Woodward, he is writing history on the run. Clarification and refinement is left to future historians. As a political issue, I don't think that the prison scandal still resonates with the American people. The DNC is going to have to come up with an October surprise. I'm sure that they have more than a few ideas. Did you catch Kitty Kelly? Very weak. I hope that they put her on 60 Minutes. I would suggest that The New Yorker is no longer infallible; there is hardly a week that I don't catch at least one spelling or grammatical error. <gg>

Terror in the woods of New England: CRYSTAL LAKE, NJ—Reports of a shadowy figure in the woods and heavy breathing heard in the night, coupled with a recent series of grisly murders, have generated rumors that U.S. Vice-President Dick Cheney has returned to terrorize the counselors at Camp Crystal Lake, sources reported Friday. "I knew it'd been too quiet around here," camp caretaker Ephram Magritte, 67, said between sips from his flask. "Things were just starting to get back to normal. Then that carload of kids had to go have a drinking party at the lake last Friday. When two of them went missing, people started up again, saying Cheney was back. We don't need that kind of talk. Stirs up trouble. Scares off customers." Four hours later, Magritte was found hanging from a tree, his brass-handled cane protruding from his eye socket. For the rest of the story, go to: theonion.com
