On Behalf Of Doug Henwood
Yes. Hersh is a cranky difficult guy - so I hear, I've never met him - but his politics are definitely on the left, and he's very good at what he does. While I understand the temptations of using someone's leak who may not share your politics, I don't think there's any doubt that he'd like to stop the maniacs in charge from nuking Iran, and I don't get what Yoshie's driving at.
