Have you seen Seymour Hersh's article.

Here it is:

Must have been a couple of years ago, you and I had a discussion about whether arms should be provided to the rebels in Syria.

I strongly warned against that because I said we do not know enough about whether the rebels are really moderates or are extremists.

I will not vote for Hillary. She has made some horrible judgment calls including voting for the Iraq War and then permitting sales of weapons that should never have been sold.

And that is just the beginning of her poor judgment calls.

I will not vote for her. I will vote for the other Democrats on my ballot.

I hate to say it... there really isn't that much of a difference between Trump and Clinton when it comes to foreign policy. I really don't want to see our country's young people come home severely injured or in body bags!

Go Bernie.

over the NC state legislature for the first time in a hundred years even I was surprised at the destruction they've wrought to voting rights and other civil rights, education, our progressive tax structure, our solar industry, the environment, Medicaid, unemployment .

I plan to vote for Bernie in the CA primary, but I absolutely will vote for Hillary in the general if she wins the nomination (I think she's gonna TBH). We cannot let a Republican take the White House. No way in hell!
