From The New Yorker:
The President has signed a series of findings and executive orders authorizing secret commando groups and other Special Forces units to conduct covert operations against suspected terrorist targets in as many as ten nations in the Middle East and South Asia.
The President’s decision enables Rumsfeld to run the operations off the books—free from legal restrictions imposed on the C.I.A.
In my interviews, I was repeatedly told that the next strategic target was Iran.
I sure hope this Hersh guy is a crackpot, sensationalistic reporter. If not, then the next logical question is "WTF!!111"
