Special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald "may just unravel the whole conspiracy," investigative reporter Seymour Hersh said in an interview with the Toronto Globe and Mail, published Monday. The New Yorker staff writer who broke the Abu Ghraib torture story predicts the prosecutor's case is going to go farther than anyone thought.
Hersh's notion of the conspiracy, says G&M staff writer Michael Posner, "encompasses the notion that the Iraq war was planned and orchestrated long before the administration began to build its case for regime change; and that the case it attempted to build, as laid out by former secretary of state Colin Powell to the United Nations, was essentially a fraud (and known to be a fraud)," he writes.
"In Hersh's eyes, anything that might hasten the departure of its chief architects, the hated neocons, would be welcome," Posner writes.
"We're so out of control," Hersh is quoted as saying about the United States. "We have a colossus out of control. It's the end of the world, brought to you by the neocons."
Fitzgerald, Hersh says, "is going to save America."
