Dirty Wars

Scahill Hits A Home Run Of Truth Telling
This award winning book and film are thought provoking and should be a first choice for anyone interested in the truth about America's current foreign policy and drone wars. The book and film allows the viewer to see how America's questionable policies and use of drones may be having exactly the reverse effect that CIA and military secretive war makers intended. It points out how these policies continue to enraged millions around the world and strengthened the hand of America's enemies. It uncovers what many would consider war crimes. Jeremy Shahill is a fearless impartial national treasure and a dying bred of journalist who still seeks to get to the bottom of a story and reveal the truth no matter how culturally unpopular it may end up being. 'Dirty Wars' helps to shines a bright fact filled light on US war making that many Americans would be surprise to know goes on in their name.

AN AMAZING and important documentary and book
Dirty Wars: The World Is A Battlefield"Dirty Wars" should be mandatory viewing/reading for every American. It uncovers the kind of deeply hidden but extraordinarily important information and background that every voter Dirty Wars: The World Is A Battlefieldbe aware of; the information that was once the purview of investigative newspaper reporters. With the fourth estate no longer doing their job, its now left to enterprising and intelligent independent producers like the extraordinary Jeremy Scahill to bring the true machinations of our government to light. Having read his previous book on Blackwater, I was already a dedicated follower before this latest and equally important topic was thoroughly covered. I urge everyone to see this. Kudos to Scahill for another journalistic masterpiece.

JSAC has existed for almost ten years but has enjoyed unprecedented fame with the capture and death of Osama bin Laden. Joint Special Operations Command answers to no military agency, not the CIA, not the United Nations, nor Congress.

Jeremy Scahill first came on the international journalistic radar as the author of Blackwater, an exposé of the hidden world of America's covert wars being conducted by contractors, not the American military. Scahill stumbled into bits and pieces of JSAC and quickly drew fire from the military and from the lap dogs who pretend to be television...
