Jeremy Scahill's 'Dirty Wars: The World is a Battlefield'
Correspondent for The Nation, is
the author of the best-selling new
book "Dirty Wars: The World is a
Battlefield" and the writer, producer
and subject of an award-winning
documentary of the same name,
which goes into wide theatrical
release this week.
Scahill sat with Reason's Matt
Welch for an extended conversation
about the book and movie, which
thoroughly investigate the way
America conducts its covert wars in
the post-9/11 world, and how Barack
Obama's embrace of drone strikes,
rendition and targeted assassination
have cemented the policies of the
Bush Administration which declared
the entire world "a battlefield."
Scahill give due credit to Sen. Rand
Paul (R-Ky) for his epic filibuster where
he read into the Congressional record
"for the first time ever...the names of
U.S. citizens killed in operations
authorized by President Obama."
