Seymour Hersh Quotes

• En Vietnam, nuestros soldados regresaron y fueron vilipendiados como asesinos de niños, con vergüenza y humillación. Eso no ocurre ahora, pero les diré que nunca ha habido un ejército estadounidense tan violento y asesino como el nuestro en Irak.

• Journalism is a great profession. It's complicated now. People talk about the demise of investigative reporting. I was a judge in some award contest recently, and the stuff that is being done by major newspapers, and local, regional papers around the country, is great. Newspapers play an amazing role in our society, and I still think they are important. I'm sorry newspaper circulation is down. Ultimately, the importance of newspapers can't be replaced.

• I say openly that I am an anti-war person, with the point being, show me some reason not to be against this war. You have to be sort of asleep at the switch not to be critical of it. And the parallel between one quagmire we went through in Vietnam and the one we're in now is clear for everybody to see.

• Los neoconservadores forman un pequeño círculo, y todos se dan la mano mientras desarrollan su política, y no se permite la entrada a los de fuera. Si estás de acuerdo con los de dentro, eres un genio. Si no estás de acuerdo, eres un traidor, un paria, un apóstata, y no te dejan entrar.

• Cuando George W.Bush atacó Afganistán, fue ampliamente aclamado, y no se entendió el fracaso de nuestra guerra allí. A los pocos meses de atacar Afganistán, Bush pasó claramente a prepararse para Irak, mucho antes de que se prescindiera de Osama bin Laden o de Al Qaeda. Nunca hubo un debate serio en la prensa sobre si era válida siquiera la noción de que todos los talibanes eran nuestros enemigos. Nunca se cuestionaron muchos supuestos sobre esa guerra.

• It doesn't matter what a majority of Americans say. George W.Bush is going to do what he thinks he must do. And history may be tough on him in the next ten years but I guess he rationalizes that in fifty or 100 years they'll bless us because there will be - maybe not in his lifetime, but someday-a democratic Iraq emulating the United States in its liberalism, in its fair-mindedness, and that democracy will spread to Iran and Syria, and that whole part of the Middle East will be happy, and terrorism will be gone, and the Israelis will be flourishing, and the oil will flow. That's his vision.

• One of the terrible things about George W. Bush Administration is that nobody wants to hear bad news. The neoconservatives are a small circle, and they're all sort of holding hands as they develop their policy, and outsiders aren't allowed. If you agree with the guys on the inside, you're a genius. If you disagree, you're a traitor, a pariah, you're an apostate, and you're not allowed in.

• They are people who, by and large, think the Administration's policy - and the Iranian case is a classic one - is very stupid. They can't get that view in, and so by talking to me, they accomplish something. It's a way of saying, this ought to be discussed, we got to get this out. That's a form of patriotism, in a funny way.

• Estaríamos mejor si todo el propósito de la aventura en Irak fuera, digamos, proteger a Israel o proteger el flujo de petróleo a Estados Unidos y mantenerlo a un precio razonable e intentar conseguir algo más de control. Si fuera por el petróleo, entrar en Irak, supongo, podría haber tenido sentido. Pero en un momento dado, cuando comenzó la insurgencia y nos vimos en verdaderos apuros, habría habido cierta conciencia de que íbamos a poner en peligro el petróleo.

• I would recommend any American who wants to understand where the government is going in the next four years of George W. Bush presidency to get a copy of her confirmation hearings before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. It's a road map, and it's pretty frightening testimony. Their definition of where democracy should go in the Middle East doesn't include Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan; it only includes Iraq, Iran, and Syria.

• Richard Nixon infringió claramente la ley en el encubrimiento del Watergate y los pagos de dinero por silencio. Todo eso fue actividad criminal. Con estos tipos, no estamos hablando del tipo de delitos comunes que Nixon cometió. No puedo decir si técnicamente están violando la ley, pero básicamente, el gobierno estadounidense ha sido secuestrado por los neoconservadores. Están llevando un montón de operaciones de seguridad nacional a la Casa Blanca.

• The funny thing is, this is what everyone assumes, that anybody who talks has an axe to grind. I've been around a long time, and yes, there obviously are people who disagree with policy who talk to me, but it's less axes to grind than people who are really motivated. One of the terrible things about this Administration is that nobody wants to hear bad news.

• Essentially Rumsfeld wins, Cheney wins, and the CIA and State Department lose. Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld have more centralized control over intelligence, analysis, and operations than ever before. And the way they interpret the law, if the President authorizes an intelligence mission to be run covertly by the Pentagon, they don't have to tell anybody, including Congress, about it because the President is the commander in chief.

• Where would we in Washington and we in America be without the Center? We would know much less about the workings of our Congress, and our tax dollars. We would know much less about the powers of the Executive, and its ability to hide wrong doing behind secrecy and classification. The Center takes the notion of integrity very seriously, and its investigations are a model for today's good journalism and, we all hope, an inspiration for the mainstream press to do more.
