More on what is going on with the Iranian NIE
Crooks and Liars: (with video)
It was a year ago this month that Seymour Hersh wrote in the New Yorker that the White House (ie: Cheney) was pushing back against the release of a National Intelligence Estimate on Iran that had failed to find any evidence of an ongoing nuclear weapons program. Once again I guess you could say Sy is the polar opposite of ‘the boy who cried wolf’.’
...
It’s little wonder why Seymour Hersh is so often the target of fierce criticism from Bushco as he’s been a thorn in their side just as he has many an administration before them. Sy has earned his place as one of the US’s greatest investigative reporters/muckrakers ever after his exposing many of the greatest scandals of our time. He broke the My Lai massacre, the torture at Abu
Ghraib, and the CIA’s “Family Jewels” that led to the Church
hearings, and even Clinton’s bombing of a pharmaceutical factory in Sudan, just to name a few of his more well known.
UPDATE: (Nicole) Marcy has a great NIE timeline…
