Investigative journalist Seymour Hersh joins us to discuss his new
article casting doubt on the veracity of the Obama administration’s
claims that only the Assad regime could have carried out the chemical
attacks in the Damascus suburb of Ghouta earlier this year. Writing in
the London Review of Books, Hersh argues that the Obama administration
"cherry-picked intelligence to justify a strike against Assad." The
administration failed to disclose it knew Syrian rebels in the al-Nusra
front had the ability to produce chemical weapons. Evidence obtained in
the days after the attack was also allegedly distorted to make it appear
it was gathered in real time.
