If you don’t recognize his name, you’re not paying attention. Seymour Hersh was born April 8, 1937. He’s an American investigative journalist and political writer who, in 1969, exposed the Vietnam War My Lai massacre and cover-up. For that he received the 1970 Pulitzer Prize for International Reporting. During the 1970s, Hersh covered the Watergate scandal, reported on the secret U.S. bombing of Cambodia, and the CIA's domestic spying program. In 2004, he wrote about the U.S. military's torture and abuse of prisoners at Abu Ghraib in Iraq.1
Obviously ersh has sources our government would love to capture and put behind bars forever without a trial.
