Here is Seymour Hersh on CNN’s Late Edition discussing covert US operations conducted inside Iranian territory.

It’s worth noting the utter illegality and brashness of such actions on the US’s part.  Scott Ritter, who has also written extensively on these issues, reminds us that the “violation of a sovereign nation’s airspace is an act of war in and of itself.” One can only imagine the response our government would unleash were Iran to even contemplate conducting similar operations in our sovereign territory, much less actually carry them out.

  1. And if one takes a glance through history, one finds a troubling pattern of similar behavior. For a government supposed based upon a fear and reluctance towards foreign entanglements, we sure have a way of covertly parking our noses into other countries’ business.

  2. Hersh speaks openly about his sources within various intelligence agencies. Anything he says should usually be interpreted as a message from the less hawkish elements within the military and intelligence agencies.

  3. Killing people around the world, yea great people Seymour.
