Daily Kos: Hersh: Who in the Hell is Bush?
Daily Kos: Hersh: Who in the Hell is Bush?: "On Plamegate, Hersh offers this view:
'You got reporters saying they're willing to go jail to defend the right of somebody to lie to them about something that leads to the deaths of thousands of people,' Hersh says. 'Do you understand the crazy value system? It's pretty bad.'
But for me, the money paragraph in the whole article is Hersh's final quote, where he lets loose on Bush and the Bush administration's record on rights, post-9/11:
'Who in the hell is (President George) Bush?' he demands. 'My parents came here to get away from stuff that he's recreating. Who is he to deconstruct 250 years of the constitution? If you were a Muslim in America after 9/11, you were presumed guilty of something. He prosecuted 2,000 Muslims -- and not one conviction for terrorism. They got a couple of guys on credit card fraud and a couple of guys on overstayed visas. Right now this government is going around and anywhere in the world we think there's a member of the `global war on terrorism' we can snatch him and take him somewhere where the sun don't shine on him.'"
