I usually do not write things about me on this blog but today is different. The movie based on Jeremy Scahill's book, Dirty Wars - The World is a Battlefield, opened this weekend and we went into to New York City to see it, and to see him in an question and answer session after it. Each person who asked a question started with, "Mr. Scahiil - Thank you for your bravery. I found myself crying through the entire movie and my question is . . ." I felt the same way.
It is a movie about the secret covert wars of Obama and the United States government and I recommend that everyone see it especially those of you worried about our country's future. I for one remember the days 40 years ago when we were all shocked to learn that our government was involved in covert assassinations of individuals in foreign countries. Now not only is it common place but it is now done to American citizens, all in the guise of fighting terrorism, which may be true. That said, how would we know if it is all secret.
We need more brave people like Jerry Scahill to remind us of the slippery slope that our country is sliding down in the name of fighting terrorism. Let us not forget our values. Support Jeremy Scahill. See this movie and see it soon!
