Idiot; Useful: One Ea.

If Seymour Hersh published a book saying that the sun rises in the east, I'd doubt his analysis.

So a book relying on Russian analysis is not high on my reading list:

The investigative reporter Seymour Hersh just published a potentially dynamite claim in the London Review of Books: It wasn't the Syrian government that bombarded a rebel-held district outside Damascus with chemical weapons last year, but the rebels themselves, supplied with sarin gas by U.S. ally Turkey.

The usual suspects will embrace the charge even though the emodiment of hope and change that charged Assad's forces with the act sits in the Oval Office.
