* Hersh: Congress Agreed to Bush Request to Fund Major Escalation in Secret
Operations Against Iran *

Congressional leaders agreed to a request from President Bush last year to
fund a major escalation of covert operations against Iran aimed at
destabilizing Iran¹s leadership, according to a new article by veteran
investigative journalist Seymour Hersh in the New Yorker magazine. The
operations were set out in a highly classified Presidential Finding signed
by Bush which, by law, must be made known to Democratic and Republican
leaders. The plan allowed up to $400 million in covert spending for
activities ranging from supporting dissident groups to spying on Iran¹s
nuclear program. Hersh joins us from Washington DC.
