True of a lot of the stuff you read in the NYT or WP. But that's not the way Hersh works - he gets his stuff from people further down the ladder who don't like the way things are being done.
I feel offended on Hersh's behalf that he's essentially being accused of carrying water for the Bush admin. The man is a national treasure and deserves a lot better than that.
