One interesting comment on Seymore Hearsh...he is an investigative reporter who finds 300% of breaking stories. Sometimes, he is dead on. Other times, his willingness to go with a story that has not been properly cross confirmed. An example of the latter was a story, early in Afghanistan war, about a massive, failed, fatal US effort. I remember seeing him on TV describing it. Since it's hard to believe that the death of a number of American servicemen could be hidden for 3 years, this provides an example of him trusting a source that he shouldn't. So, a Seymore Hearsh article should be a heads up that something _may_ be happening, but not confirmation that something _is_ happening.
