The author's evidence is that he has none, therefore it's the perfect operation. Assertions presented without evidence may be dismissed without evidence.

It's fair to be critical of Hersh's use of anonymous sources, but it was those same anonymous sources that enabled him to cover the so-called "weapons of mass destruction" and "nuclear materials" used to justify the invasion of Iraq. It's not like this article is coming from a journalistic non-entity. Hersh has a pretty stellar record as far as journalism uncovering government corruption.

And the torture of prisoners in Iraq, as well.
