Sy Hersh says they're waiting in the wings to rat out the Bush admin.

'You cannot believe how many people have told me to call them on 20 January [the date of the next president's inauguration],' he says, with relish. '[They say:] "You wanna know about abuses and violations? Call me then."


Profiles in courage, eh?

  • Remember Bush's legendary demands for unquestioning, cone of silence loyalty?...

    The question I have is, will all that is to spill just be the stuff of beltway gossip rags, or will we see justice? And I mean justice in a very legal and punitive kind.

    Never mind. I know the answer.

  • Yeah, I would guess "a".

  • That's much more noble than my thinking. I figured they were military and career bureaucrats trying to get out from under getting fired.

  • Oh, I definitely think that explanation is more likely. But, boy howdy, will I be looking for Hersh's work in the New Yorker after 1/20.
