How sane is Hersh these days? I get the sense that the US failure to deal with Abu Ghraib torture in any meaningful way broke him.

- raverbashing 4y ago> Hersh’s more recent stories have been called into question. These included articles about how the US found Osama bin Laden and calling into question the use of chemical weapons on Syrian civilians by Syria’s regime, which were criticised for relying heavily on anonymous sources and lacking hard evidence. Yeah I'd say some people should just enjoy retirement, as investigative work is hard and it's easy to be misled > which were later triggered by a sonar buoy dropped by a plane. Yeah I have a hunch that's not how it works.
- tanseydavid 4y agoYou're questioning his sanity? Because of an article he wrote 20 years ago which did not cause the government to change? Is that sufficient to make someone insane? Seems way off to me.
