Where's The Afghanistan War's John Murtha?

Pulitzer Prize-winn­ing journalist Seymour Hersh spoke at the Georgetown University­'s School of Foreign Service in Qatar on Monday, January 17, 2011, where he said that a group of radical neoconserv­atives, "overthrew the American government­. Took it over." He added, "It's not only that the neocons took it over but how easily they did it -- how Congress disappeare­d, how the press became part of it, how the public acquiesced­."

Expressing his disappoint­ment with President Barack Obama and his dissatisfa­ction with the direction of U.S. foreign policy, "Just when we needed an angry black man," he began, "we didn't get one."

"I've given up being disillusio­ned about the CIA," Hersh said. "They're trained to lie, period. They will lie to their president, they will lie certainly to the Congress, and they will lie to the American people. That's all there is to it."
