Regardless of what one may think about the journalistic practices of Seymour Hersh, it cannot be denied that he has reignited important discussion about how the United States came to find Al Qaeda mastermind Osama bin Laden and the role of the Pakistani government in harboring the terrorist.
For defenders of President Obama, Seymour Hersh’s report is particularly annoying because it questions the first account of the operation revealed to the world by the commander-in-chief. That forced administration officials to launch a hasty effort to back up the details released by the president.
Journalist Seymour “Sy” Hersh has written a piece in the London Review of Books alleging that U.S. President Barack Obama engaged in a massive coverup surrounding the 2011 operation that resulted in the death of al-Qaeda mastermind Osama bin Laden.

In George Orwell’s landmark novel 1984, Big Brother’s dictatorial state uses “newspeak” and its Ministry of Truth to turn falsehood into manufactured “truth” and reality into lies. The administration’s explanation of what drives the terrorists responsible for 9/11, the Fort Hood shooting, and the Boston bombing sounds everyday more and more like a product of The Ministry of Truth.
The outgoing head of the Defense Intelligence Agency, Lt. General Michael Flynn, is not leaving quietly. The Daily Beast characterizes his departing comments as “slamming” and “unloading on” President Obama’s foreign policy, which Flynn sees as a timid, confused, politicized approach to a global threat that should be met with a Cold War-style campaign against an enemy as committed to “the destruction of freedom and the American way of life” as the Soviet Union ever was.
