Hersh And His Story Are One?

This is just fascinating about Hersh and his Abu Ghraib story:
Hersh, of course, would tell you that the world needs to know the information his methods obtain. He may be right. But that is also what U.S. Military Intelligence believed about getting information by hook or crook out of the criminals and terrorists confined at Abu Ghraib that could save American lives.
My take is that we need to figure out how to be ruthless to actually win this thing -- and this story proves we're incapable of it. Let's be honest with ourselves here: if men wearing women's underwear is a war crime then why hasn't San Francisco been tried in an International War Crimes Tribunal?

And if we start making them wear ham suits will FranceArabia finally lose it and attempt to nuke us?
