I'd like to see a list of the people who were assassinated. I don't remember hearing many "important" people, except here in America who were assassinated by causing plane crashes, are they included? Cheney belongs in prison for the rest of his crappy life.

Killing For George Bu$h and Dick Cheney

"They've been going into countries, not talking to the ambassador or to the CIA station chief, and finding people on a list and executing them and leaving,"

Holy mackerel! This is wor$e than crazy RepubliCON Dick Nixon'$ li$t .... and it sounds like what the I$raeli$ did to get even with their enemies.

Are we really surprised? We know what they have been up too! If anyone thinks for a moment we have heard the last of their crimes - ha!
We haven't even reached the surface!

I find his answer to the last question about whether Obama is continuing these alleged assassination squads very curious. He claims to know so much about these squads alledgedly linked to Cheney, but has no clue if Obama is using them?

BTW, if we did ever dig up every speck of dirt, it would never even begin to compare to the atocities of Hitler and his Nazis.

It's an interesting and provocative article but he offers no real proof. Though he is apparently planning to release some evidence in a series of articles. We shall if Hersh is all talk or if he has come across something worthy of deeper investigations.

The Crimes of Bush/Cheney Have not Taken All thier Victims Yet.Thier Crimes are Still in Motion...
The Depleted Uranium Will be Killing With Cancer, deformities, ETC; for Generations.
This Secret Death Squad Would Not Work For Obama; as Cheney Probaly Hasn't Relinquished Controll of it;
as Far as The Statement About it Being Like The Israelies. Cheney Has Dual Citizenship Doesn't He?...
We didn't Hear About it Because it was Part of the Job To Supress information and Controll the Media; How Many Reporters Were Assassinated By Agents Dressed as "Terrorists" from the USA Covert Community To Divert The Press and Encourage the People to Support the War.?...

He's talking about JSOC which was established in the 1980's. It is based in Fort Bragg/Pope AFB in NC and is commanded by the USSOC. The commnader of USSOC reports to the Secretary of Defense and then to the office of the president. While many of their operations are secret, most of this information is not. Anybody ever read the book Lone Survivor?
This group does carry out special operations which do include killing people and they most certainly do still exist and they still report indirectly to Obama. Read the book.
Conspiracy theories are fun, but rarely do they have any substance.

I don't know the book, Lone Survivor, but I will google it, asap!

This article and Hersh's allegations are only proof of the continuity in American foreign policy since the end of World War II. My memory and the history of US interference & intervention in other countries' democratic processes go back further than Bush Jr and Cheney !

Don't people study history anymore?

Take a look at how US and UK intelligence masterminded and carried out in the 50s -1953, I think- the overthrow of the great Iranian statesman & champion of the nationalization of Iranian oil, Prime Minister Mohammed Mosaddeq; you cannot talk to a single Iranian today -young, old, or in between, including human rights lawyer & Nobel laureate 2003, Shirin Ebadi (who devotes considerable space to this national tragedy in her autobiography)- without hearing about the fall of the democratically-elected & greatly loved & admired Mosaddeq; and the Shah being subsequently 'set up' in power by the US and UK.

All in defense of American & British OIL interests: The Anglo-Persian Oil Company (APOC) was founded in 1908 following the discovery of a large oil field in Masjed Soleiman, Iran. It was the first company using the oil reserves of the Middle East. APOC was renamed Anglo-Iranian Oil Company (AIOC) in 1935 and eventually became the British Petroleum Company (BP) in 1954, as one root of the BP Company today. (TY, wikipedia: 1953 Iranian coup d'état- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1953_Iranian_coup_d%27%C3%A9tat)

Not a single US news organization had the intellectual honesty to report on this when US Embassy personnel were taken hostage in Teheran during the Carter administration. -Did US journalists have 'guidelines' to follow to keep the American population in total ignorance; or did they censure themselves automatically? -The Iranians had a real gripe against the US and the UK, but nobody reported on it, when today you can find PAGES about it on Wikipedia. And that's why most Americans are still going around like idiots asking, 'Why do they hate us?'
