It was an awful story about how our own soldiers went into a village and killed elderly men, woman and children. Well, I have often wonder how Seymour Hersh manages to keep from getting murdered because he usually goes to the root of the problem and reveals deadly poisons in our dark side of gov't. I wish him good health because we have some good reporters out there but known so daring and truthful as Seymour Hersh. He is my Edward R Morrow.

Was this "former bush official, named dick cheney, by change? And why was it so "shocking" to the committee when it was revealed to them by Panetta -- and obviously shocking to him as well, since he immediately ordered it stopped and the very next day reported it to the IntelCom??? “Current and former administration officials” are saying that this was not a covert activities program but just another intelligence gathering program — different from others.
