Cheney ‘Ran Executive Assassination Ring’ Says Reporter (click title to entry - thank you)
Seymour Hersh has shocked many with a recent proclamation to University of Minnesota students that spoke about Cheney running a secret assassination ring. Even more shocking is that John Dean, former aide to President Nixon, is backing him up....
...Hersh spoke with great confidence about these findings from his current reporting, which he hasn’t written about yet. (click here)
In an email exchange afterward, Hersh said that his statements were “an honest response to a question” from the event’s moderator, U of M Political Scientist Larry Jacobs and “not something I wanted to dwell about in public.”

...Even those who are not card carrying members of the "W" fan club, agree that you should not be throwing shoes at the president. But three years in jail? Seymour Hersh is reporting that the government had an executive assassination ring, which reported directly to Former Vice President Dick Cheney. So who's more dangerous? The head of an assassination ring, or a guy with a foot fetish?...
