WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The Bush administration has been carrying out secret reconnaissance missions to learn about nuclear, chemical and missile sites in Iran in preparation for possible airstrikes there, journalist Seymour Hersh said Sunday.

The effort has been under way at least since last summer, Hersh said on CNN's "Late Edition."

1. I think Seymour Hirsch was writing about Abu

Ghraib in the New Yorker long before the story was covered by the networks. He has been relentless in getting the news of this (mis)administration out to the public.

YES, I find him very credible.

Hersh is the person who broke the Abu Ghraib story.
