Hersh: Bush Admin Ran “Executive Assassination Ring”
----------------------------------------------------



The investigative journalist Seymour Hersh has revealed the Bush
administration ran an “executive assassination ring” that reported
directly to former Vice President Dick Cheney. Hersh says US operatives
have secretly gone into countries and executed suspects on a target
list. The operation was apparently run under the extra-legal Joint
Special Operations Command, overseen only by the White House. Hersh made
the disclosure while speaking Tuesday at the University of Minnesota.
