Interview With Seymour Hersh on Democracy Now!

Democracy Now! is one of the finest independent mediums streaming on the internet these days. You can also pick it up on the radio in the Seattle area on AM-1090 and KBCS 91.3-FM.

On today's Democracy Now!, Amy Goodman interivews Seymour Hersh, investigative journalist at The New Yorker, who has written a very compelling piece on the US support of Israel, in this latest mid-east crisis, and how it sets up conditions for an invasion of Iran. The lead up to the interview states that:

The Bush administration has openly backed Israel's campaign. The administration resisted international efforts for a ceasefire and rushed arms to the Israeli military.

A major new article says U.S. support for the invasion of Lebanon has gone even further than we already know. That in fact, White House support for the massive bombing of Lebanon even predates the day those two Israeli soldiers were seized.

Nothing surprises me anymore, so I can't say I'm surprised, but given the constant and desperate appeals by Pope Benedict XVI for a cease-fire in the region, it is imperative that we Catholics sit up and take notice exactly where our government (or our Vice President) is taking this nation.
