Even the 'good' journalists are still, well, journalists. -- i went to a
university which was very closely allied with a journalism school and
because of this experience, coupled with the daily evidence in the

one hand that I would actually take with more than a single grain of
salt. I'm not familiar with Seymour Hersh. I'm just looking for the
story, not A politically motivated, emotionally charged side of it.
That's hard to find these days. I'm always open to suggestions.
Hersh exposed the My Lai massacre, in 1969. His reports (first published
in the New Yorker) are in his book My Lai 4: A Report on the Massacre
and Its Aftermath (1970). His latest book, Chain of Command: the Road
from 9/11 to Abu Ghraib, came out in paperback this August. I'm reading
it, slowly; it's hard to be helplessly infuriated for very long.
