#1 From what I understand, Sy's extremely versed in that subject.

#2 He admits to being a lying sack of feces when he speaks, but not when he writes? Sorry you can't disconnect like that. You are a fabricator or you are not.

That the Chomskyite MSM accepts that says alot about them and Hersh.

Anyone caught talking to Hersh from the DOD should be taken to the center of the Pentagon and shot after a short military trial for treason.

#3 Convergence time.

Like Eason Jordan, Gunga Dan and co., Sy's no more professional than your average blogger.

At the same time, more and more bloggers are starting to show a concern for veracity, research and transparency in sourcing that puts the mSM to shame.

#4 I fully agree with him.

When your wife asks you: Darling, did I put on weight?

Ok, you know what I mean...

#5 I would never put the truth about my wifes weight in print either. But my wife has an accurate scale sho she would know if I was lying.

Lying about the US President, DOD and, Military is not even in the same class.

#7 the motivation in the lying is what matters. Lying about your wife's weight because you hate America, the military, and worship failed socialism experiments?

#9 Saying "You look just fine Sweetheart" isn't the same as making accusations of a "Videotape of young boys being raped at Abu Ghraib." I actually mean it when I tell my wife that.

I don't know what the hell Sy Hersh is trying to do, perhaps he has a desire to destroy and discredit my/his country. We don't need his lying. In public speaking or print. So called "journalists" should not lie. Sy Hersh is just another north eastern punkass liberal who needs to have his smart ass lowered a notch.

#10 Interesting you should mention that SPoD. Last night I was reading a site where a leftist commentator used the "Videotape of young boys being raped at Abu Ghraib." as evidence of why Iraq was better off under Saddam.

#11 Ask him to let you know when he gets a copy of it ed. :D

Socialists, Communists, Chomskyites, they are all the same. Lying bastages not fit to be believed or taken seriously, not trustworthy enough to turn your back on.

#13 I guess Mr Hersh believes in "fake but accurate"
