I have now learned not to question Sy Hersh. When I heard he was working on a story on an "executive assassination ring" run by Dick Cheney, I told our audience to be skeptical. Come on, bounds of reason. Assassination teams, really?
Well, it turns out, really! No, really!
But I still don't get it. If these teams are meant to kill or capture senior Al Qaeda operatives, what's the big deal? Aren't we trying to do that...
