Yup. Hersh also published bogus claims about the Syrian nerve agent attacks on civilians, claiming they were not done by the Syrian government, but by "outside agents".
Among his claims was that the Sarin was made by "mixing two inert chemicals", which is utter bullsh*t; the synthesis pathways for those deadly chemicals are notoriously difficult and hazardous, including things like hydrofluoric acid, which is extremely corrosive, and a itself a contact poison affecting the nervous system.
But he happily spouts his bullcrap stories, the primary beneficiaries of which are the autocracies of the world.
