	Seymour Hersh - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hersh was born into a Jewish family in Chicago and graduated from the University of Chicago.
		Hersh strongly criticised the aerial destruction of the Al-Shifa pharmaceutical factory, the largest pharmaceutical factory in Sudan, which provided about half the medicines produced in Sudan, by United States aircraft during the Bill Clinton presidency, on August 20, 1998.
		Hersh went on to publish an article claiming that the abuses were part of a secret interrogations program, known as "Copper Green", expanded to Iraq with the direct approval of Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, in an attempt to deal with the growing insurgency there.

		Seymour Hersh: hello, this is seymour hersh of the new yorker magazine and i'm sullen, worried and not convinced that the next four years will be full of harmony, as our president tried to tell us yesterday.
		Seymour Hersh: the most distressing issue, for me, in the election was the lack of information and the lack of interest in information about far too many of the electorate -- obviously, i'm referring to many of the religious factions who voted for bush.
		Seymour Hersh: crucial question, and thus far the bush crowd has been able to crush any attempts for more openness, in terms of how they develop policy, etc etc. there seems to be unlimiited power, given the passivity of the press and the congress, but i'm betting on the integrity of the military.

		Hersh was the first to demonstrate that military brass was ordering soldiers to kill noncombatants, and once he did, Vietnam War reporting was never the same.

	Investigative journalist Seymour Hersh spills the secrets of the Iraq quagmire and the war on terror
		Hersh summarizes his mission as "to hold the people in public office to the highest possible standard of decency and of honestyto tolerate anything less, even in the name of national security, is wrong." He tries his best.
		While his writing is dense but digestible, in person Hersh speaks with the rambling urgency of a street-corner doomsayer, leaping from point to point and anecdote to anecdote and frequently failing to finish his clauses, let alone his sentences.
		Hersh has been accused many times of sympathizing with "the enemy," and told that his publicizing of incidents like the My Lai massacre and the Abu Ghraib torture only fan the flames of anti-American sentiment around the world.

	The Avenger: Sy Hersh, Then and Now (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Hersh, for instance, wrote that JFK used Judith Campbell Exner as a courier to deliver cash to the mobster Sam Giancana; his source was a political operative named Martin Underwood, who told a believing Hersh that he followed Exner on a train from Washington to Chicago, and watched her hand over the satchel.
		Hersh seamlessly fused opinion and fact, irony and analysis in a way that connected all the dots — and, what's more, gave the piece a sprightliness and readability that is generally lacking in the recent work he's done for Remnick.
		Hersh is comfortable on the show: away from editors and fact-checkers, he says what's on his mind — at which point it becomes clear that he hasn't changed much since the 1960s.

		Seymour Myron Hersh was born along with a twin brother April 8, 1937, to a middle-class family in Chicago.
		Hersh proved much more adept at making contacts than attending press conferences, and soon he had a raft of sources, many of whom were unaccustomed to being courted by reporters.
		The smokiest of the smoking guns Hersh planned to include in the book was his discovery of a supposedly authenticated handwritten note from Marilyn Monroe to JFK in which the actress demanded the president create a $600,000 trust fund for her ailing mother.

	Seymour Hersh: Bush is "Unreachable"
		Hersh said that most of the prisoners “had nothing to do with anything.” Most were caught at roadblocks or any male under 30 was grabbed if he was in the area after an ambush.
		The attempts to gain intelligence were based on what Hersh called a “most acute form of torture,” the shaming of prisoners by using pictures of frontal nudity of males and posing prisoners as if they were performing homosexual acts, knowing that if photographs were shown in their communities, this would be death for them.
		Hersh said that his best guess is that oil was not “the real thing he wanted to do.” The neo-con mantra, ‘all roads lead to Baghdad’ and ‘democratization,’ the latter concept which goes all the way back to Jeane Kirkpatrick, were the major ideas behind the war.

	Media Matters - LA Times columnist Max Boot's attack on Seymour Hersh riddled with inaccuracies
		Hersh removed the portions of his book based on the forged documents prior to publication, and the documentary that eventually aired on ABC on December 4, 1997, included no material based upon the forged documents, as Time explained in an October 6, 1997, article.
		Seymour Hersh's record is unassailable; he is truly the epitome of what an investigative journalist should be about.
		Somehow, he intimates that Hersh and his press colleagues created the "military industrial complex" boogeyman in the 1960s, ignoring that it was outgoing President (and former General) Eishenhower who first publicly warned the Nation to be on guard against this agglomeration of economic and political power.

	Amazon.com: Chain of Command : The Road from 9/11 to Abu Ghraib: Books: Seymour M. Hersh (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Hersh's work for the first time here may not realize how far ahead of the curve he has been in exposing scores of intelligence failures, poorly thought out national security initiatives, and the horrible Abu Ghraib prison scandal.
		Hersh's points were treated with suspicion when they were made, only to be accepted as common wisdom when the full story became known (though the book's editors would have done well to make that clearer, but more on that in a moment).
		Hersh on a few occasions threatens to undermine some of his credibility by relying on speculation on subjects like prison conditions at Guantánamo, and by making only passing references to minor evidence that could weaken his arguments, on subjects such as troop movements between Afghanistan and Iraq.

		Hersh also surmises that the Straussians Paul Wolfowitz hired at the Pentagon might have told noble, Platonic lies about WMD to justify the war.

		In March 2002, Hersh writes, a military action against al-Qaida, known as Operation Anaconda, was botched in Afghanistan's mountainous border with Pakistan.
		I visited with Hersh this week in his tiny, unadorned two-room office in downtown Washington, where he works amid a whirring fax machine, a constantly ringing phone and delivery men knocking on the door with packages.
