......just like the good old Viet Nam days, isn't it, Sy?
Max Boot:
"Reading a Seymour Hersh article is a bit like panning for gold: You have to dig through a lot of dirt to find any nuggets of possible value. Relying almost exclusively on vaguely described anonymous sources, he makes sweeping claims about top-secret operations that can only be known to a small number of people inside the government with access to the relevant 'sensitive compartmented information' and 'special access programs,' and they aren’t allowed to comment one way or the other. And his 'reporting' is always colored by a sixties-leftist, anti-American, conspiratorial worldview."
Read the whole thing.
On the other hand, Hersh is hardly alone in this aspect, particularly on the internet, and you don't even have to visit the Usual Suspect national blahgs of ill repute to find it.
Plenty of kindred spirits can be found right here in our local blahgosphere.
