"The CIA, as a rule, does not comment on allegations regarding covert operations," CIA spokesman Paul Gimigliano said in regards to Pulitzer Prize winning investigative journalist and author Seymour Hersh's allegations on CNN's "Late Edition with Wolf Blitzer" that Congress has authorized up to $400 million to fund the secret campaign, which involves U.S. special operations troops and Iranian dissidents.
He said the program resulted in "a dramatic increase in kinetic events and chaos" inside Iran, including attacks by Kurdish separatists in the country's north and a May attack on a mosque in Shiraz that killed 13 people.
Hersh first gained worldwide recognition in 1969 for exposing the My Lai Massacre and its cover-up during the Vietnam War, for which he received the 1970 Pulitzer Prize for International Reporting. His 2004 reports on the US military's mistreatment of detainees at Abu Ghraib prison gained much attention.
Hersh received the 2004 George Polk Award for Magazine Reporting[1] given annually by Long Island University to honor contributions to journalistic integrity and investigative reporting. This was his fifth George Polk Award, the first one being a Special Award given to him in 1969.
"They believe that their mission is to make sure that before they get out of office next year, either Iran is attacked or it stops its weapons program," Hersh said. I guess my question is there anyone who doubts they plan on going into Iran before the election?
We have ample forced on two boarders now. We've heard just a little to much about how difficult it would be to take them out to really believe it any more. Israel has completely thrown down the gauntlet. Iran knows it's coming and I can't help but feel a little pain for them.
Muslim, Christian, Jew, the average person just wants to live in a nice place, race a family and not get screwed to hard, and when war comes it's the average person who bears the brunt on both sides.
Iran's parliament speaker, Ali Larijani, warned other countries against moves that would "cost them heavily." In comments that appeared in the semi-official Mehr news agency Sunday, an Iranian general said his troops were digging more than 320,000 graves to bury troops from any invading force with "the respect they deserve."
At a certain point hardliners, regardless of what God they claim to pray to all start sounding the same. The last time I heard anything concrete about Iran's nuclear capability was they were 10 years away.
