I guess it makes sense that a war that was based on lies should be finished with more lies.
The media that attacked Hersh is treating the public like children and ignoring the greater political compromise in which these deals are made. The US media ignores that Pakistan had political factions it had to placate in its imprisonment of Bin Laden. Just like in America where similar compromise is used for bargaining leverage by power-abusing factions. To get away with this it is important to keep a phony image of government and media sincerity and credibility going.
