Despite Hersh trying to make it look dirty (of course), this is some of the best news I've read in a while. That's what I was thinking, too. If it's true that we're taking out various facilities, the Iranians must already know about it anyway. And if not, scaring them is not a Bad Thing.

The Hersh report is here: newyorker.com I would take anything Hersh says on the subject with a grain of salt. He seems to often be the unwitting victim of foreign intelligence services with an agenda. In my opinion, he fell for some disinformation supplied to him by Indian intelligence re: US airlifting AQ fighters out of Afghanistan into Pakistan in a New Yorker report he wrote during the Afghan war. I am not sure at all that he is getting this information from the CIA; heck, I wouldn't pay a plugged nickel for the notion that he is 100% correct on the point. Note that he suggests that Pakistan is involved in helping the US in the venture. The BSP [Bull S*** Potential] of the Hersh story is quite high, IMO.
