1. I’ve wondered for years about Senator Paul Wellstone, and how the ratio of democratic reps seriously outweight republicans regarding who dies in small aircraft crashes. With the amount of power, money, and influence in US government circles in Washington, and the murder carried out in our name abroad which is non-controversial, this is hardly surprising in my view.

2. I have always wondered about several deaths across the globe Since 2003 that made no sense.

   July 17 2003: Dr David Kelly (Iraqi Weapons Inspector) was found dead

   July 2005: Wim Duisenberg (Former Chairman of the European Central Bank) had a Heartattack and drowned in a swiming pool

   August 2005: Former British Foreign Secretary Robin Cook (Serious challenger to Tony Blair and Gordon Brown, had a heartattack and died

3. I have always wondered if this ring was responsible for a series of poisonings between 2002 and 2005 while I was in litigation with the federal government.

4. Hers is head and shoulders above most reporters in the mainstream media, but he knows more–much more=–than he’s telling. It may be his instinct to survive. It’s dangerous to reveal too much of the truth.

5. It’s also interesting how Hersh says that even though you may get a bad president the good news is that elections will bring in new administration with “New Leaders”. I personally do not understand how people can look at the political and economical developments of the past couple of decades and still think the system works. There are just too many contradictions, inconsistencies, plots, and evidence to point otherwise.

   The thing that also lost me was how he said the guys doing the killing are not murders. So let me get this straight, they are covertly moving around the world, finding targets, torturing them, assassinating them, and all without the knowledge or consent of local governmental authorities. Sounds like murder to me but in this case it is not?

   Just because these people thought they were doing the right thing or just following orders, it does not remove them from all responsibility for their actions. Especially, as mentioned in the article, when there’s collateral damage causing the deaths of several other innocents.

   I thank him for bring to light what many people outside the mainstream media have already know, and so I do not trust him because much of what he is saying does not make sense to me.

6. All very interesting.

   I do wonder, though, if Hersh perhaps tells less than everything–and I do doubt it was a true slip. For example, he is careful to imply (without saying it) that the assassinations were all outside the US.

   While possible, it would seem unlikely.

7. One can only wince with incredulty when Hersh hatches this beauty,

   “Eight or nine neoconservatives took over our country.”

   Oh bloody really? At one point in the audio portion, it’s Hersh who states one thing that causes him great pain is when the mainstream media “joined the other team” and quit doing their job, asking the “tough” questions – post 9/11. Better get a cup of coffee and wake up Mr. Hersh; and if you want to tell a real whistle blower’s story – one that begins LONG before 9/11 – give Catherine Austin Fitts a call.
