When does the slander against Sey Hersh and his new book start?

[gristy]

With Sey Hersh’s new book, Chain of Command : The Road from 9/11 to Abu Ghraib, about to come out, when does the slander against him start?

I’m thinking they’ll try something along the lines of the SBV Liars http://swift1.he.net/~swiftvet/index.php :

Pulitzer Prize Winners for Truth has been formed to counter the false "war crimes" charges Sey Hersh has repeatedly made against George Bush who served in our military and elsewhere, and to accurately portray Hersh's activity as a "journalist" as actually a junior grade editor. We speak from personal experience -- our group includes men wrote with Hersh and have received their own prestigious awards such as a Polk/Pebody (or whatever). Though we come from different backgrounds and hold varying political opinions, we agree on one thing: Sey Hersh misrepresented his contribution to his Pulitzer Tome and therefore exhibits serious flaws in character and lacks the potential to write.

We regret the need to do this. Most Pulitzer Prize Winners would like nothing better than to support one of our own for America's highest office, regardless of whether he is a Democrat or a Republican. However, Hersh's phony articles, his exaggerated claims in his books, and his deliberate misrepresentation of the nature and effectiveness of his own writing compels us to step forward.

For more than thirty years, most Pulitzer Prize Winners kept silent as we were maligned as misfits, addicts, and baby killers. Now that a key creator of that poisonous image is seeking to sell a book of lies we have resolved to end our silence.
