Hersh throws a new spin on the current state of the Mid East

Remember what I was saying just a couple of days ago about the shift to a wider Shi'a/Sunni conflict being built around Iraq?

Seymour Hersh not only expands on this rather eloquently, he also throws a totally new spin on it with some rather major Iran-Contra players. I had wondered if something was in the air with the placing of Gates in charge of the military, a man who could keep his mouth shut in order to advance his career, no matter how illegal the operation. Looks like I was right to be suspicious.
