Seymour M. Hersh: "A Strike in the Dark"

"What did Israel bomb in Syria?" Sy Hersh in the NYorker, here
"... Yet officials I spoke to in Israel heatedly denied the notion that they had extensive help from Washington in planning the attack. When I told the senior Israeli official that I found little support in Washington for Israel’s claim that it had bombed a nuclear facility in Syria, he responded with an expletive, and then said, angrily, “Nobody helped us. We did it on our own.” He added, “What I’m saying is that nobody discovered it for us.” (The White House declined to comment on this story.)"
Israel and the U.S. have avoided comment on press reports about a nuclear facility.

So many dollars and words to say so little. If we werent steeped in the cult of celebrity, Hersh's trash would be called what it is- Nothing. He has zero to add- guess his CIA friends werent leaking. This article barely rises to the level of gossip- and old gossip at that. Why doesnt he go to the site himself and find out? He's got the money and the clout...
