13:07Now PlayingPulitzer Prizewinning journalist Seymour Hersh rejects the Obama administration’s claim that the Bashar alAssad regime carried out deadly chemical weapon attacks in the Damascus suburb of Ghouta in August 2013 that killed hundreds of Syrian civilians.

But the only villain we looked at was the Syrian government, when the United States had internal highlevel CIA reports that extremist groups ... were getting the chemicals needed to make sarin [gas] ... from the Turks and also from the Saudis."
