Seymour Hersh - Journalist?

Seems to be carrying on the John Kerry theme of our EVIL military:

He described one video in which American soldiers massacre a group of people playing soccer.
“Three U.S. armed vehicles, eight soldiers in each, are driving through a village, passing candy out to kids,” he began. “Suddenly the first vehicle explodes, and there are soldiers screaming. Sixteen soldiers come out of the other vehicles, and they do what they’re told to do, which is look for running people.”
“Never mind that the bomb was detonated by remote control,” Hersh continued. “[The soldiers] open up fire; [the] cameras show it was a soccer game.”
“About ten minutes later, [the soldiers] begin dragging bodies together, and they drop weapons there. It was reported as 20 or 30 insurgents killed that day,” he said.
If Americans knew the full extent of U.S. criminal conduct, they would receive returning Iraqi veterans as they did Vietnam veterans, Hersh said.
“In Vietnam, our soldiers came back and they were reviled as baby killers, in shame and humiliation,” he said. “It isn’t happening now, but I will tell you – there has never been an [American] army as violent and murderous as our army has been in Iraq.”

Yep, giving the fair reporting of the news. Couldn't be that he's providing analysis without having a clue about what actually was happening. I mean, video must tell you everything that is needed to know about what was happening.

Shame? Is he really trying to say that every soldier coming back from Vietnam was a baby killer ashamed of his service? I'm guessing he's been reading Kerry's Winter Soldier speeches again.

I won't go into his screeching tirade against Bush. That was expected.

My analysis. This guy is an asshole.

UPDATE:
QandO has commentary on Hersh as well.
