I've always know Seymour Hirsh was an idiot, but I had no idea he was a moonbat to boot. In the pages of The New Yorker Hirsh appears to be a hard hitting left-of-center partisan. And he's had quite a lot of scoops in his day (My Lai), peppered with the occasional idiotic report (I'm thinking of his 'Forged uranium documents story'). However, when he gets away from editorial oversight of David Remnick, the other, less sane, side of Seymour Hirsh comes out. What's even more insane than the accusations, which literally come straight out of the pages of al Jazeera, are the fact that he attributes them to unnamed sources deep within the Pentagon.

Here are the accusations from The New York Metro. I recommend reading the whole article::

*Videotape of young boys being raped at Abu Ghraib.
*Evidence that Abu Musab al-Zarqawi may be a “composite figure” and a propaganda creation of either Iraq’s Baathist insurgency or the U.S. government.
*The active involvement of Karl Rove and the president in “prisoner-interrogation issues.”
*The mysterious disappearance of $1 billion, in cash, in Iraq.
*A threat by the administration to a TV network to cut off access to briefings in retaliation for asking Laura Bush “a very tough question about abortion.”
*The Iraqi insurgency’s access to short-range FROG missiles that “can do grievous damage to American troops.”
*The murder, by an American platoon, of 36 Iraqi guards.
