Sy Hersh alleges an "executive assassination ring"

Sy Hersh, in a Minnesota appearance, mentions an "executive assassination ring" (referring to the executive branch of our government.)

Hersh alleges a special operations unit which supposedly conducted foreign assassinations reporting around the military chain of command to Dick Cheney's office alone .

Hersh is famous both for his investigative and unusual single source reporting, so we'll have to wait and see exactly what this is when he publishes formally in a book in a year or two.

(PS. Just skip down to the indent which actually contains Hersh's words.)

  • Do we need to go back now and examine every assassination of the last eight years?

    Bhutto anyone?

  • I dunno.

    I have a hunch this group was probably working below that level. Kind of at the "final rendition" level.

  • Hersh has been here before with Cheney. Hasn't stuck anything to him. Reaganite teflon, Cheney learned from the best. Question is which old warrior has kept the sharper game. The ultimate neocon or the man sent to expose him.
