    It’s fair to be critical of Hersh’s use of anonymous sources, but it was those same anonymous sources that enabled him to cover the so-called “weapons of mass destruction” and “nuclear materials” used to justify the invasion of Iraq. It’s not like this article is coming from a journalistic non-entity. Hersh has a pretty stellar record as far as journalism uncovering government corruption.
