Most people don't have a clue.

I always had a feeling that the major media's version and the political affirmation is a bit one-sided, but never did I have a clue about what's really going on. I've also listened to what Naomi Watts had to say and the parallels are obvious - the world is shoving the control of grand processes in the hands of a bunch of elite, who are being represented by the White House, USA. I always knew that my brief passage through an American prism of beliefs in a high school in FL was truthful in it's lesson for me that the belief that "America is the best country in the world" will lead those young naive minds into nowhere. I'm not an American and I have no *need* to participate in "writing to your congressmen" or any similar actions (you Americans should), though I suspect that sooner or later Europe will wake up and what then? Will the civilized portion of the world be able to suppress the ambitions of megalomaniacs and shrink them down to due process?

Do we really want to see our reality as a failed civilization?

The Dirty Side of America's Military

Add "Dirty Wars" to the list of movies that make me depressed to be an American.

Investigative reporter Jeremy Scahill plunges into the shadowy world of American strategic ops initiatives around the world, and the results, while not exactly surprising, are certainly chilling. What he finds are instances of American forces randomly going into obscure parts of the world and carrying out attacks that are as likely to kill innocent women and children as they are any people actively trying to do America any harm. At the center of these operations is a mysterious military unit about which virtually nothing used to be known, until this same unit carried out the assassination of Osama Bin Laden and elevated itself to hero status in the eyes of the American people.

Movies like "Dirty Wars" seem like a necessary evil to me. They bring to light topics that need to be addressed, but at the same time leave me impotently frustrated at my inability to do anything about it.

Grade: A-

there can't be a war on terrorism

The Nation correspondent Jeremy Scahill came to worldwide attention when he exposed the presence of private security firm Blackwater in Iraq. His documentary "Dirty Wars" shows that the debacle in Iraq was part of something larger. The so called war on terrorism has turned into an excuse for the Pentagon to do whatever it wants: an endless war on every continent. If the US army is the world's police force, then the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) is the SWAT team given free rein. From Afghanistan to Yemen to Somalia, JSOC intends to spend eternity looking for more action. This includes assassinations without trial.

Scahill's documentary came out around the time that Edward Snowden exposed the NSA's tactics. Both show the criminality and lawlessness in which the US government has been engaging. It's no accident that the US is seen as the biggest threat to world peace.

Definitely see it.
