File under: Govt of Iran

#1 In Tim Blair speak it's a memory surplus.

"The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they're ignorant; it's just that they know so much that isn't so." : Ronald Reagan, 1964

#2 In April of 2006, he [(Sy hersh, that is)] wrote that the Bush administration "has increased clandestine activities inside Iran and intensified planning for a possible major air attack."

To which I say: I damned well hope so! We have a whole Pentagon full of people who are getting paid to plan possible attacks on people and places we might need to attack. The fact that there's a contingency plan doesn't mean there's been a decision to go to war.

#3 Bob Baer's been saying quite a lot. One presumes that what he says has been cleared to be said. This leads one to suspect that the public conclusions based on such information (such as Hersh's) are actually desired by the CIA. That leaves as the biggest question whether CIA (State) is working for or against the Bush Administration plans regarding Iran (and all anybody can do is guess.)

#4 Glenmore: Do you mean to say that the CIA is playing Sy Hersh like a Casio keyboard?

Oooh. Excellent!

#5 I do believe that Sy Hersh has been played like a Casio keyboard for decades by his sources, any time someone wants to leak a little disinformation into the news pool, only he is too arrogant to have figured that out already.
