Did anyone else hear the story/rumor that if Obama's elected
(pretty good hook, huh...made you look! Relax and chill out a bit, please...we've got this) people told Sy Hersh that they had some information for him? Wouldn't that be something, we can only imagine...9/11, torture, domestic spying, and hoo nose what else!

However, they won't come forward if McCain is...

If this has been posted here before, please accept my apologies in advance...

1. I haven't read that prediction
but it stands to reason that the Obama administration (gawd, I'm gonna love typing that phrase!) will foster a safer environment for whistleblowing than BushCo ever provided. This would, of course, include whistleblowers who were witness to criminal acts and gawd-knows-what atrocities committed by minions of the BFEE and the neocons.

"The unknown quantity of voter racism apart, however, he is hopeful that Obama will pull it off, and if he does, for Hersh this will be a starting gun.'You cannot believe how many people have told me to call them on 20 January ,' he says, with relish. ' "You wanna know about abuses and violations? Call me then." So that is what I'll do, so long as nothing awful happens before the inauguration.' He plans to write a book about the neocons and, though it won't change anything - 'They've got away with it, categorically; anyone who talks about prosecuting Bush and Cheney is kidding themselves' - it will reveal how the White House 'set out to sabotage the system... It wasn't that they found ways to manipulate Congressional oversight; they had conversations about ending the right of Congress to intervene.'"
