Seymour Hersh: Bush & Foreign Policy (3 of 7)

http://www.mediaed.org

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.

Not only does the emperor wear no clothes but everyone around him is naked as a jay bird and doesn't want to admit that they are all part of the same nudist colony. The majority of the press is so controled by these people that they are powerless to speak out and represent the true, whole story. We need to start writing/calling our media and demand that the truth be represented. Bush believes in power and money.
