Quotes by Seymour M. Hersh

“The government of Brazil had publicly proposed brokering a settlement between the United States and Cuba; Raskin, never afraid to speak his mind, suggested that the White House consider the offer. “Oh, no,” Bundy said. “It’ll take just one detachment and he’ll be out of there.”
