We Need More Seymour Hershes
In early 1968, a horrendous event took place that might have never been exposed, were it not for the work of investigative journalist Seymour Hersh. In what became known as the My Lai massacre, U.S. troops gunned down (and in many cases, raped and multilated) hundreds of Vietnamese civilians including children and elderly people. The event escaped public attention until November of the following year, when Hersh brought it to the front pages of America’s newspapers, triggering widespread horror and catalyzing opposition to the war, as the American public finally got a better understanding of the relentless, grotesque violence that was being carried out overseas with their tax dollars.
