A week or so ago, I read an article from Seymour Hersh about a new form of the Iran-Contra shuffle going on in the White House, directed at Iran and run through the Vice-President's office. It was a frightening story, and not one I had the slightest difficulty believing. I filed it in the back of my mind, thinking it would be front page news for months to come. It was that big a story. And yet, there's been nary a peep out of the mainstream media or much else about the story. Have you read it?
Now TomPaine.com has written an article summarizing not only the story, but also the lack of media attention its been given. This must-read article is written by Tom Engelhardt. The original article by Hersh is in the New Yorker and can be found here.
This story isn't just big news, it's colossal news that should have every investigative journalist from here to Timbuktu clawing each others' eyes out to get the dirt. Why isn't anyone following this story? Why isn't CNN, NBC, ABC or any of the other echo chambers out there grabbing ratings with this story? Do they condone this sort of illegal behavior? Does the American people, or the Congress? I know that many of the Republicans like my very own set of assholes support this kind of backdoor dirty tricks, but is there no politician willing to impeach the President and the Vice-President over this kind of shit?
