Hersh on Iran. Let's hope this is all part of some massive disinformation campaign. It's hard to know. But it may be about a fight inside the administration, between the Veep's office and the State Department, for Bush's heart and mind. Dana Priest's article last Sunday about the possibility of Iranian backed terrorism against the US in retaliation for possible air strikes would seem to suggest that strikes are being contemplated at a more immediate level than at least I had realized. But it was also likely sourced by people in the bureaucracy who a) believe strikes are being contemplated and b) are trying to warn about the possible consequences. How can the US seem to have three Iran policies at once? Because there doesn't seem to be anyone at home where there needs to be. It's a sorry observation that 24 seems to have written this script.
