The Abu Ghraib story was not brought to light by Hersh, nor was My Lai. Both were made public by serving members of the US military. As for KAL 007 Hersh did make some accusations of CIA involvement, again based on mysterious and unidentified "government sources" but AFAIK they remain unsubstantiated.
Personally, i think Hersh is good at claiming credit for the risk of others and very good at making things up. I would not trust his reporting one single bit.
