On the Sy Hersh fan fiction, I think the comments from the Whitehouse and CIA sum it up admirably.

Adrienne Watson, a White House spokesperson, said in an email, “This is false and complete fiction.”

Tammy Thorp, a spokesperson for the Central Intelligence Agency, similarly wrote: “This claim is completely and utterly false.”

There are plenty of more detailed rebuttals, going into details about how his story is not internally consistent, or how what he claims makes no sense, or even how the quotes attributed to his single source don’t sound like an American military personnel.but honestly, I’ll just leave it at “it’s fiction.”
