Pulitzer winner Seymour Hersh reveals Cheney's assassination ring, gets no press

Investigative reporter Seymour Hersh is best known for breaking the shocking My Lai massacre story during the Vietnam war, in which hundreds of unarmed civilians in a Vietnamese village were slaughtered by U.S. soldiers in March 1968. His courageous reporting on this sad chapter in history won him a Pulitzer Prize. In recent years, his incisive coverage of the Abu Ghraib abuses and torture has also been widely followed and respected.

So when Mr. Hersh spilled the beans earlier this month about an executive assassination ring which reported directly to Dick Cheney, why did the major media give this so little coverage? The news spread widely through alternative news websites, yet leading newspapers and other major media (with a few exceptions) gave little to no coverage. Could it be that there are powerful people who don't want the public to know about such things?

Read below for excerpts of an article about revelations shared by Mr. Hersh in the Minnesota Post, which is one of the few newspaper-companies to release this important story.

Investigative reporter Seymour Hersh may have made a little more news than he intended by talking about new alleged instances of domestic spying by the CIA, and about an ongoing covert military operation that he called an "executive assassination ring." [Hersh said] "after 9/11 ... the Central Intelligence Agency was very deeply involved in domestic activities against people they thought to be enemies of the state, without any legal authority for it. Today, there was a story in the New York Times that ... mentioned something known as the Joint Special Operations Command -- JSOC. They reported directly to the Cheney office. They did not report to the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff or to Mr. [Robert] Gates, the secretary of defense. They reported directly to [Cheney]. Congress has no oversight of it."

Well this is just typical of the corporate controlled media hiding things their owners don't want you to know.

But I suppose in their defense, Cheney coldly shot a good friend for god knows what, so I doubt he would think twice about taking out a news editor or two.

Cheney and his thugs can't hide forever, but like Hitler, he would be too gutless to take responsibility for his actions, so he will no doubt end up shooting himself in the head...let's hope...
