Hersh on the WoT
Seymour Says: highlights from Seymour Hersh's talk on the War on Terror as the keynote speaker at the Chicago Headline Club's Peter Lisagor Awards.
"We have an attorney general that is, I don't know, how would you describe him, demented? We have an attorney general who doesn't seem to understand the law. He's talking about John Walker Lindh, a young boy. John Walker Lindh has made a confession that hasn't been made public. And [Ashcroft] is using parts of the confession to attack him, in public, and that's against every code of every U.S. attorney; it's one of the first things in the rule book. You can't take material that's privileged and use it publicly against anybody.
