Latest on Sy Hersh and Rolling Stone Article?

[Kira]

I just bought the Rolling Stone with the Abu Ghraib article, has there been any press about this? Is this the info that Sy Hersh had? Has anyone heard him speak out again? It has been a long time and I thought he was going to talk more about it?

1. The RS online version went out several days ago-I think the Sy Hersh

info is related and similar, but my hunch is that Sy has got far more damning info & evidence that he has seen...I say a prayer daily for his safety and that in October he lets it fly....he will go down as a great patriot in our nation's history....

2. Yes he is.

I tried to find an old thread about the RS article but I could only find one short one. I thought it would have been a big topic.

3. I bet it's a hard choice for him to decide what & how to write

Wanting to get the truth out is obviously important to him..
but my God, this stuff is so awful, it has to make you question what the impact will be.

Truth is most important. But the consequences of writing about this will be showing your nation totally dragged down in the mud, as well as fear for your own personal safety. Plus, his career is worth a lot to us as it is, because he takes just the right risks to get the truth out while still being respected within the mainstream. Wonder if his paper fights with him over what he writes.
