Seymour (Sy) Hersh is an American Pulitzer Prize winning investigative journalist and author based in Washington, DC. He is a regular contributor to The New Yorker magazine on military and security matters.

His work first gained worldwide recognition in 1969 for exposing the My Lai massacre and its cover-up during the Vietnam War, for which he received the 1970 Pulitzer Prize for International Reporting. His 2004 reports on the US military's mistreatment of detainees at Abu Ghraib prison gained much attention.

Hersh received the 2004 George Polk Award for Magazine Reporting given annually by Long Island University to honor contributions to journalistic integrity and investigative reporting. This was his fifth George Polk Award, the first one being a Special Award given to him in 1969.

In 2006 he reported on the US military's plans for Iran, which allegedly called for the use of nuclear weapons against that country.

    Unfortunately he was wrong about the German election but he was 100% prophetic about the changes in the Euro/Dollar balance and the disaster of the US economy, wasn't he?

  • "Is that his real hair?"

    A little concerned with appearances are we? Telling.

  • Blanchelincoln, this guy is one of the best investigative reporters in America and the world, responsible for uncovering at least two major cases. 1970 Pulitzer Price is a bit of a give away, don't you think ?!? Is a bit like an Oscar for journalist, is that more accessible for your celebrity cult brains?

  • Wow, this guy is really full of shit.  I guess his sundry "contacts" were wrong about Schroeder's "easy" victory. Just another left-wing New York-DC media guy with an ax to grind and limited credibility.

    By the way, is that his real hair?

  • this video must be a few years old. Schroeder LOST the german election.
