Hersh event on tape?
I missed the Seymour Hersh event -- does anybody happen to know if someone taped it (praying...)?
Usually, somebody does.
Usually, somebody does. Check with the UT group that hosted it and perhaps the journalism folks over there. Pam Strickland

unpleasant realities
yes. and too bad even such an "independent" heavyweight as Hersh will not come out and pronounce 9-11 for what it was: an "Inside Job," or more precisely, a False Flag intelligence black operation, brought to us by the ruthless world elite as represented by the US, UK, and Israel...with the spineless, mute complicity of countless other world governments, apparently.
most americans have not heard of Robert Fisk, so his pronouncing the Truth of Non-11 a few months ago---or at least his grave doubts about the guilt of Muslims in the attacks----didn't exactly cross our national radar screen.

If Only
If only we could clone hundreds of Mr. Hersh for all our media outlets.
