The NewYorker releases the HERSH document.
"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.
In their view, it’s ‘black reconnaissance.’ They’re not even going to tell the cincs”—the regional American military commanders-in-chief. (The Defense Department and the White House did not respond to requests for comment on this story.)"
The full governements rebuttal is here.
The only civilians in the chain-of-command are the President and the Secretary of Defense, despite Mr. Hersh’s confident assertion that the chain of command now includes two Department policy officials. His assertion is outrageous, and constitutionally specious.
I Linked into the CIA report and I also noted the Khan Pipeline. It appers a pre-emptive is in motion. Read readiness report on strike on Iran and Nuclear works in Parchin
It's noteworthy that the DOD responses so quickly. Secondly, there IS a pipeline, where it lies nobody knows. Is the US working on good intel ??
The Watchers are busy noting this chatter, but then again .....who knows !!
Update : Next stop: Iran ;
Keep tuned.. interesting story being blogged !!!
