It's a Not A Cult, Silly -- It's a Coven.
27 January 2005

Speaking at the Stephen Wise Free Synagogue in New York, The New Yorker's Seymour Hersh, one of the best investigative journalists at work, says the U.S. government "has been taken over basically by a cult."

The preferred language is "new religious movement." Audio and transcript of Hersh's remarks at Democracy Now.
