1. Patience is a virtue, its only been one day.

Things just don't happen overnight, he still needs to write a story.

[sabra]

2. patience... It's been two days... I trust Hersh

4. Why? What is he saying?

5. I'm waiting to hear about all those insider calls he said he was gonna get on January 20th...

I'm just inpatient, but you make claims like that, you better be able to back them up!

7. I'm more of an outpatient type myself, but I'm curious too.

12. You answered yourself. Back them up. That takes time. Second and third sourcing

as they call it. By reliable sources.

If you were a whistleblower and intended to come out after the changeover, would you do it before. If you come out on Jan 21, would you not expect your story to be checked out?

6. Whistle blowers would be coming out of the woodwork by yesterday

And not having seen headlines this morning some folks are worried that no whistle blower will ever come forward. There was the guy on Olbermann last night but he seemed about as credible as a Republican talking about saving the economy. What he said may be true but the guy gave no confidence he actually knew jack shit.

11. So you think Russ Tice is not credible? On what basis?

He didn't just spring on the scene. Does this mean all the other national security whistleblowers you will blow off as well? Tell me I'm reading you wrong.

13. I saw nothing that would make me claim that he was incredible. All I surmised

is that he had a line that he did not cross as far as details which is always smart. Know the law and stick within it.

[catnhatnh]

15. I missed it but that was my brother's opinion...

he believed the wiretapping happened but was highly suspicious of Tice.

9. Seymour Hersh is not a shabby journalist he verifies his stories

Relax...... its coming

[Jeanette in FL]

10. Seymour Hersh got where he is by being patient

and not jumping the gun. He will take the information he gets and investigate, investigate and investigate some more.

He has never been one to run by the seat of his pants.

All of us want this information, yesterday. But I trust him and his judgment.

[tuckessee]

14. Yeah, Sy Hersh is a publicity seeking drama queen.

All that My Lai shit was just so he could see his name in print.

I expect to see him streaking across the field at the Super Bowl next.
