INTERVIEW: Hersh says US Iran warplanners have been working nonstop for weeks

[In an interview with *Rolling Stone* posted on Apr. 2, investigative
reporter Seymour Hersh says that "in the last couple of weeks, [planning
for war with Iran] has become nonstop."[1]  --  As he has been for several
years, Hersh is pessimistic about the future of the Republic.  --  "this
administration has shown us is how fragile democracy is.  All of the
institutions we thought would protect us -- particularly the press, but
also the military, the bureaucracy, the Congress -- they have failed."  --
Hersh is particularly critical of the press, which to repair you'd have
to "fire or execute ninety percent of the editors and executives.  You'd
actually have to start promoting people from the newsrooms to be editors
who you didn't think you could control."  --  Thanks to Joe Thompson for
sending this piece.  --Mark]
