#1 "Vice president Cheney does not have a death squad"

Oh, sure. You say that now. Backpedal furiously as Cheney's evil minions lurk outside in your shrubbery waiting only for the cover of darkness.

#2 ...Well, what is interesting about this is that Sy ~~Kottic~~ Hersh has - AFAIK - never backed down on a story before. He's always got secret sources and proof that never quite show up before the uproar goes away - but he's never denied anything like this.

#4 I suspect Darth Cheney zapped her with a Naval Observatory Death Ray from his formerly SECRET basement lair. These things all have a way of getting out in the end you know. I blame Cheney and gas gulping SUV sun roofs.

#7 "This is another example of blogs going bonkers with misleading and fabricated stories and professional journalists repeating such rumours without doing their job -- and that is to verify such rumours."

I suspect by the time it's over we'll be wishing Cheney had had a death squad for real.

#12 "Vice president Cheney does not have a death squad.
Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist Seymour Hersh created a stir earlier this month when he said the Bush administration ran an executive assassination ring that reported directly to Vice President Dick Cheney. Under President Bushs authority, theyve been going into countries, not talking to the ambassador or to the CIA station chief, and finding people on a list and executing them and leaving, Hersh said.
AMY GOODMAN: Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist Seymour Hersh created a stir last month when he said the Bush administration ran an executive assassination ring that reported directly to Vice President Dick Cheney. Hersh made the comment during a speech at the University of Minnesota on March 10th.
SEYMOUR HERSH: Congress has no oversight of it. Its an executive assassination wing, essentially. And its been going on and on and on. And just today in the Times there was a story saying that its leader, a three-star admiral named McRaven, ordered a stop to certain activities because there were so many collateral deaths. Its been going inunder President Bushs authority, theyve been going into countries, not talking to the ambassador or to the CIA station chief, and finding people on a list and executing them and leaving.
Lying Bastard.
