Pentagon to Seymour Hersh: You're a tool.
Who knows? But I'll tell you this: if Seymour Hersh has compromised the operational security of any American commandos operating in Iraq, or compromised American strategic interests by reporting this story, he should be jailed for treason. So should his sources; "classified information" is not synonymous with "material slated for media dissemination."
The Pentagon has hit back at claims by investigative reporter Seymour Hersh that US commandos are carrying out covert operations inside Iran.
A spokesman said Hersh's New Yorker magazine article was based on rumour, innuendo and conspiracy theories.
"Errors of fundamental fact" destroyed the article's credibility, he said.
Hersh argues that US forces, aided by intelligence from Pakistan, have been inside Iran, identifying military targets for future air strikes.
A Pakistani foreign ministry spokesman has described the reports of collaboration with the US over Iran as "far-fetched".
