	Seymour Hersh - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hersh was born in Chicago and graduated from the University of Chicago.
		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.
		Specifically, one of Hersh's dramatic allegations made during a speaking engagement in July 2004, during the height of the Abu Ghraib scandal, was later amended by Hersh.

		Hersh, in 1969 a 32-year-old freelance writer in Washington, got onto the story after he received a tip that an officer was about to be court-martialed for the murder of civilians in Vietnam.
		Seymour Myron Hersh was born along with a twin brother April 8, 1937, to a middle-class family in Chicago.
		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.

	CJR - Books - The Dark Side of Camelot, by Seymour M. Hersh
		Hersh goes on to say that "the Journal's reporting team was far closer to the truth than its editors could imagine." He reports that "in interviews for this book, many West Virginia county state officials revealed that the Kennedy family spent upward of $2 million in bribes and other payoffs" before the primary.
		Hersh suggests at another point that Kennedy's relationship with Judith Campbell Exner may have cost taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars because it "apparently became known" to the General Dynamics Corporation, which "may have used that knowledge" to win a government contract to build a new generation of fighter planes known as the TFX.
		Hersh writes that Bartlett also told him that in the spring of 1963 Paul Corbin, an abrasive political operative close to Robert Kennedy, alleged to Bartlett that John Kennedy aide and friend Kenneth O'Donnell and two others had been skimming campaign contributions from questionable sources for their private use.

	Press Box Eats a Flock of Crow - Seymour M. Hersh was right about WMD in Iraq. I was wrong. By Jack Shafer
		For instance, in the Oct. 8, 2001, New Yorker, Hersh portrayed the CIA as a moribund agency and reported that Director of Central Intelligence George Tenet was not long for the post.
		Hersh climbed all over Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld in the April 7, 2003, issue, blaming the faltering invasion of Iraq on the secretary's abandonment of the Pentagon "time-phased forces deployment list" playbook, causing troops to run low on everything from JDAMs and Tomahawks to water and fuel.
		Hersh's chronic overreaching inspired me to blow raspberries at his May 12, 2003, piece, "Selective Intelligence," which predicted that weapons of mass destruction would not be found in Iraq.

		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 argues that the heart of current conflict is "intelligence" in the traditional meaning of the term within international conflict -- the accurate assessment of what those planning against you intend, as well as the correct assessment of the impact of your own actions.
		Hersh is a respected journalist and author and claims to have had his sources validated, it does require a leap of faith to accept them at face value.

		Seymour Hersh is an investigative journalist who gained prominence after he broke the story of the My Lai massacre in Vietnam, when American soldiers killed every man, woman and child -- all unarmed civilians -- about 500 all told, in the vicinity of a village called My Lai 4 on their maps.
		All of the ugly details are told in Hersh's book, which won him the Pulitzer Prize for International Reporting in 1970.
		Hersh deserves credit most recently for breaking the story on the flawed Iraq intelligence used in President Bush's State of the Union long before the mainstream media picked up on the story in a big way.

		Their defenders will call the charges a bum rap, but the case against them has been made by Seymour Hersh, a relentless, resourceful investigative reporter, and he sounds like he's got the goods.
		The Abu Ghraib prison scandal, Hersh says, was not rooted in the criminal inclinations of a handful of Army Reservists but in the secrecy, coercion and twisted legal justifications concocted by Bush, White House lawyers, high-ranking military officers and senior advisers.
		Still, the gang Hersh so skillfully and unsparingly indicts may well beat the rap; its fate is in the hands of a jury that will render a verdict Nov. 2.
