I'm never sure what to make of Hersh these days. He publishes some absolutely great stuff, and the article above is certainly very interesting.

On the other hand, some (although certainly not all) of the things he's written in my areas of expertise are flat wrong, and I suspect he is being led by his sources.

Given the nature of the topics he writes on, of course, it is always hard to tell whether it is a starling revelation, or a startling mistake.
