A really interesting and insightful article by Hersh, as usual.
What I don't quite get - or rather I get but don't fully understand the reasons why it is so - is why Turkey is so important to the US, that it can do something like this and get away with it, because, if the below is believed, it would upset Turkey. The corollary, Turkey manipulating the US into a war, doesn't seem to be considered or at all important? Why?
But in light of all this Erdogan skullduggery, I do now wonder who was responsible for releasing that Erdogan false flag Youtube tape? Payback perhaps?

R.K. Locke Wrote:Barring a major change in policy by Obama, Turkey's meddling in the Syrian civil war is likely to go on. I asked my colleagues if there was any way to stop ErdoÄŸan's continued support for the rebels, especially now that it's going so wrong,' the former intelligence official told me. The answer was: "We're screwed." We could go public if it was somebody other than ErdoÄŸan, but Turkey is a special case. They're a Nato ally. The Turks don't trust the West. They can't live with us if we take any active role against Turkish interests. If we went public with what we know about ErdoÄŸan's role with the gas, it'd be disastrous. The Turks would say: "We hate you for telling us what we can and can't do."'

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
