Jeremy Scahill:
The man exposing the US Dirty War
Jeremy Scahill, whose provocative documentary Dirty Wars is released in the UK this week, has been described as a “progressive journalist” and an activist
in the same mould as Glenn Greenwald. Is “progressive” a word he is
comfortable with? “It’s not a term I would reject in terms of my
personal politics,” he says, “but I see myself as an independent
journalist and my mission is to try to tell stories about real people.”
Scahill’s critics write him off as an activist or an advocate, but he
argues that all journalists have a point of view. “Oftentimes the ones
who are activists on behalf of the state don’t get labelled as
activists. People who accept the state’s version of events are
considered objective journalists. People who question the state’s
version of events, particularly in the face of overwhelming evidence
that the state is either lying or involved in extra-legal activity, are
tarred with the brush of being activists. There is a systematic smearing
of anyone who questions the state, while people who are slavishly
devoted to advocacy for the state somehow wear the crown of
objectivity.” ………..

“Dirty Wars” – (HD) Documentary, Thriller
It’s the dirty little secret of the War on Terror: all bets are off,
and almost anything goes. We have fundamentally changed the rules of the
game and the rules of engagement. Today drone strikes, night raids, and
U.S. government–condoned torture occur in corners across the globe,
generating unprecedented civilian casualties. Investigative reporter
Jeremy Scahill (author of BLACKWATER: The Rise of the World’s Most
Mercenary Army) traces the rise of the Joint Special Operations Command,
the most secret fighting force in U.S. history, exposing operations
carried out by men who do not exist on paper and will never appear
before Congress. No target is off-limits for the JSOC “kill list,” even a
U.S. citizen. Director Richard Rowley takes us on a chilling ride with
whistle-blower Scahill. Dirty Wars is a battle cry for the soul and
conscience of an America few of us know exists.
Genre: Documentary, Thriller Director: Richard Rowley
