Investigative reporter Seymour Hersh describes ‘executive assassination ring’
Journalist Seymour Hersh speaking in Doha at an Al Jazeera forum on the media in 2007.At a “Great Conversations” event at the University of Minnesota last night, legendary investigative reporter Seymour Hersh may have made a little more news than he intended by talking about new alleged instances of domestic spying by the CIA, and about an ongoing covert military operation that he called an “executive assassination ring.”
Hersh spoke with great confidence about these findings from his current reporting, which he hasn’t written about yet.
In an email exchange afterward, Hersh said that his statements were “an honest response to a question” from the event’s moderator, U of M Political Scientist Larry Jacobs and “not something I wanted to dwell about in public.” [...]
At the end of one answer by Hersh about how these things tend to happen, Jacobs asked: “And do they continue to happen to this day?”
Replied Hersh:
[...] “Congress has no oversight of it. It’s an executive assassination ring essentially, and it’s been going on and on and on. Just today in the Times there was a story that its leaders, a three star admiral named [William H.] McRaven, ordered a stop to it because there were so many collateral deaths.
“Under President Bush’s authority, they’ve been going into countries, not talking to the ambassador or the CIA station chief, and finding people on a list and executing them and leaving. That’s been going on, in the name of all of us.

Somehow, black ops are even more sinister when the normal black ops chain is ignored. There's even less chance of oversight and accountabilty. Again, movement conservatives view the crime of Watergate as getting Caught. Getting off pretty clean for Iran-Contra only emboldened them, and if you've read Angler, your head will spin.

I heard about this a couple years back through the Diplomatic corp of the State dept. Complaints were that personel were being infiltrated into and then out of country after mission completion.
