Seymor Hersh(?)

[k-robjoe]

From the Moscow Times :

( Concerning plans to infiltrate terrorist groups ) :

"In fact, it's being expanded, as The New Yorker's Seymour Hersh revealed last week. Not only will U.S.-directed agents infiltrate existing terrorist groups and provoke them into action, but the Pentagon itself will create its own terrorist groups and "death squads." After establishing their terrorist "credentials" through various atrocities and crimes, these American-run groups will then be able to ally with -- and ultimately undermine -- existing terrorist groups."

Can´t find Hersh´s article online though. Does anyone know more about it?

1. One word: P2OG

That's Rumsfeld's apparatus of "agent provocateur".

"Proactive Preemptive Operating Group"

THE COMING WARS
by SEYMOUR M. HERSH
What the Pentagon can now do in secret.
Issue of 2005-01-24 and 31
Posted 2005-01-17

George W. Bush’s reëlection was not his only victory last fall. The President and his national-security advisers have consolidated control over the military and intelligence communities’ strategic analyses and covert operations to a degree unmatched since the rise of the post-Second World War national-security state. Bush has an aggressive and ambitious agenda for using that control—against the mullahs in Iran and against targets in the ongoing war on terrorism—during his second term. The C.I.A. will continue to be downgraded, and the agency will increasingly serve, as one government consultant with close ties to the Pentagon put it, as “facilitators” of policy emanating from President Bush and Vice-President Dick Cheney. This process is well under way.

3. Yupp. Thanks.

I got mixed up. Didn´t look at the date of the Moscow Times article, and thought it was a recent one, since this other site linked to it as news.

4. Is it me or Hersch...

Is a bit delusionary ?:

"Despite the deteriorating security situation in Iraq, the Bush Administration has not reconsidered its basic long-range policy goal in the Middle East: the establishment of democracy throughout the region"
