[jwgbmp40]

outsourcing has ruined this country. it profits only a small few. those mercs think 3,4hundred bucks a day is good, but like the uaw autoworker,only a few corporate assholes are really gettin rich and you're sellin your soul& family for a few measly bucks. wtf?

I definition of Terrorist is someone who TERRORIZES..as taught by Islam.

Mohammad was a Terrorist and he was possessed by Satan.

Islam = a Terrorist Cult

That is what Terrorism is all about, murdering people in submission, not fighting open wars.

Islam is a murderous Satinic CULT..The penalty for leaving islam is, yep you got it..DEATH!!

Thats Terrorism..Defined

..

[STEVEDIGIBOYtv]

@Soloman1001

There are terrorist haters in every weak mumbo jumbo religion. Get life you sound like a real bigoted person.

[Soloman1001]

@STEVEDIGIBOYtv

You sound like an ignorant person, do you purport to understand Islam?

Islam is not a religion btw, its a Political Cult...anyway carry on i need a laugh...

[STEVEDIGIBOYtv]

@Soloman1001

You have probably never had the guts to talk to a muslim, too busy with hate mongering and trying to create an enemy. People like you build Berlin walls, does not make sense extreme paranoia.

[Soloman1001]

@STEVEDIGIBOYtv

Says the guys who thinks he going to be abducted by aliens..haha

2 questions igoramus..

1) Are you a muslim?

2) Do you purport to understand islam?

Really simple questions..i speak with hundreds of people who are just one more, go ahead, you could make a donation if you like becuase i have been schooling people for free here for a long time, now go..

[Soloman1001]

@STEVEDIGIBOYtv

MANY muslims.. dont be ridiculous.

[Soloman1001]

@STEVEDIGIBOYtv

If you are not a muslim an you do not understand islam prepare to be schooled.

[Soloman1001]

@STEVEDIGIBOYtv

Big mouth has gone, go spot some UFO's in your garden.

[hotmayoshot]

schill is an annoying pussy.

[Char1esP]

@hotmayoshot *thumbs up*

[elhayya]

skip to 4:12 of the video, says it all

[Gunsmith88000]

Blackwater is a private security company, who happen to be very cost effective and efficient. Please do your homework before you buy into "lil Jeremy Scahill's" progressive atheist propaganda.

[licensedhobo]

where does him being an atheist come into this?

[Gunsmith88000]

Scahill is a communist pussy

[licensedhobo]

your a dipshit

[timesplitters333]

Obama the flip flopper wont get the troops out of iraq!

Mccain was right when he said the troops will be in iraq for 100 of years!

[timesplitters333]

you sure obama can get the troops out? are you stupid? you need a brain kid.. Obama is a puppet to the elite..

Stop watching zombie tv!!

[Emyousmusa]

Here here... I agree with Shcill

[southbeach09]

This group and the people behind it, the one's in the shadows, are untouchable and unstoppable. Even Obama has ordered more private security into Iraq and Afghanistan and even he knows not to fuck with them. Can someone say the new world order?

[reyesjaen07]

Define terrorist? The use of force or violent means to achieve one's purpose. That would include the U.S. governenment, the largest terrorist government in the history of my planet. I thougt the earth had swallowed you up you fucking retard Soloman 1001. Every video I seem to watch on politics of truth, there is this idiot Soloman 1001 acting as if he's got the truth in his back pocket. That fucker doesn't seem to have a life. Pedazo de mierda!

[tomgnyc]

Actually terrorism is the targetting of innocent civilians with force or violence to achieve one's purpose. But I still agree America is the largest terrorist government by their own definition. Anyone remember "Shock and Awe", the destruction of Fallujah, the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, financial support of the Contra death squads in Nicaragua, the use of cluster bombs, mines, and white phosphourous which all do disproportionate damage to civilian populations. The list goes on and on

[biankajeg]

of course terror musn't necessarily be violence - instilling FEAR - 'hey the world will unravel lest you pass this bill' for example

[biankajeg]

- inflicting terror (dwE) thru watever means to scare people and eliminate opposition to your cause - example -lynching scared blacks in america and instilled fear to keep them down -

[Soloman1001]

Jeremy Scahill´s got a book out for sale, the usuall fucking story, what a fucking surprise. Why didnt he just call it, out to be a Traitor Prick whilst making money. I suppose he is the complete opposite of the Blackwater ideology.

Jackass!

.

[zzRider]

Note: Blackwater is now called Xe.

[WELLKNOWNimposter]

reverse psychology promoting....the more hate the more yull love patriotism of people

[Xsuicidekings14X]

All the people criticizing the guy need to listen to the base arguments he's making. These contractors have no rules of engagement, they have been immune to the consequences of their actions. These mercenaries are used to protect high priority targets due to their willingness to use lethal force without regard for life all for a paycheck.

[askmieke]

This is such political BS. Mercenaries are hired guns that operate under a contract and are dispatched to work under the command of their client, the US state department. Would this author prefer to have left the Iraqi's in the hands of Saddam. Such idiocy..I think it should be mandatory for US men to serve in the military so they can get their patriotism from drill sargeants instead of liberal professors.

[samander05]

If the Iraqis wanted a different government, they could have made it themselves, just like the whole world does every fucking day. The problems in the Middle East are religion and western intervention that allow crazies like Saddam in power. We did support his dictatorship before we opposed it by the way..Let the world govern themselves for christssake.

[donkey69donkey69]

yes, america has over 700 military bases worldwide. who are the real terrorists?

[Soloman1001]

Define Terrorist?

[timesplitters333]

define terrorist? well somebody who kills civilians!?

What do you think?

[risecolt]

I agree with you, only because you got two red thumbs. YOU GO! Stand for your opinions. dont let the evil bring you down man.

[octavioveliz]

I wonder how much this guy got for writing this book?

[risecolt]

hmm... well, he is a reporter. it is rather his job then his interest.

[octavioveliz]

He sure makes it sound like his interest.

[xMuscles]

he reminds me of ted from how i met your mother

[risecolt]

hrrhhh... hahaha... lol

[jmr334]

Yes, I have been there...and I most certainly agree with you that the Iraqi people need a hug...they are the true victims of war...not the American public's feelings. Being there showed me how Saddam needed to be ousted, but we could have handle the aftermath without the corporate influences. Even though I was a contractor for a long time, I believe that the State Department should have hired federal security (DS, AKA Bureau of Diplomatic Security) instead of contracting it out.

[jmr334]

Sounds like somebody's got PTSD from being in Iraq!

[justice4sum]

Looks like some of you need to wake up. Bush and his red neck buddies are all that is wrong with this world. Im not saying that Saddam and his mates where saints, but the shit Ive seen some of the so called good guys do, they are no better. Some of you need to look outside the box. Why is it right for the U.s. to be the judge of whats right? Red necks fuck off

[jmr334]

You sound very hostile...find the closest person to you and ask for a hug:-)

[justice4sum]

Thanks, but i regular hugs. But i think the Iraqi victims need a hug.By the way have you been there? and did you vote for bush?

[knightnoctum3]

That would be like me calling all Brits evil because their last priministers policies or Hitler made all the German peoples of the world evil.Just please remember that the us government does not speak for the American People and that alot of us feel they are acting in their own self interests and are way out of line with the way they have used our military and policies to manipulate other peoples of the world and us. Not all of us are evil and we are getting ready to fight them here at home!

[homeperson]

I love Scahill anyway, but I really liked the interviewer, he asked some really good questions.

And seriously, there's a CNN international? If this is the quality of their reporting, why the hell is it so moronic here at home in the US on CNN America or whatever the channel is called here?

[arvydas0069]

CNN international sucks. Its more "E Channel" than news channel. Its broadcast from Britain which surprisingly feeds off tabloid news even more than Americans. BTW, Scahill is a starving journalist just trying to make a buck by slamming a company that has done nothing wrong. Blackwater is his little literary niche. Kinda like the war in Iraq was for Cindy sheehan

[junito2562]

all i see you talk, what proof you have on video? you just making money making books with no proof.

[heathman77]

Its ok all you people who support blackwater. they will be here in the US one day doing the same thing they are doing in Iraq. Just wait

[arvydas0069]

You mean they will be driving the Ambassador to a meeting on Capitol Hill in an Armored Suburban one day in the U.S.? Sorry bro, what are the Secret Service going to do then? I don't understand your ominous outlook. Blackwater is a VIP Escorting service contracted by the Department of State. The reson they are in Iraq is because DoS agents don't have the training (and usually don't have the balls) to escort the Ambo or his staff into a combat zone. So they hire the best in the world. SOCOM

[comradehomefries]

You do realize that Special Operations Command has nothing to do with Blackwater right?

[arvydas0069]

Operationally no. They are a private contracting company. Where do you think Blackwater gets its guys from? Erik Prince is a former SEAL and most of the instructors were SEAL team 6 and its employees are former SOCOM and Marines. There is the connection.

[DaHonestAbe]

@heathman77 They already did. Hurricane Katrina.

[imbabci2]

Agreed. America invaded Iraq Illegally and continue their immoral rape of Iraq's resources. I'm not sure Iraq would require America to pay reparations. The country sits over the second largest oil field in the world. That's why American oil interests, Halliburton (Cheney) wanted the invasion and continued occupation. When you vote, please remember that none of the 3 frontrunners, McCain, Clinton, nor Obama, are dove. NONE intend to leave Iraq...ever...

[meredithhopej]

I sorry, but how hot is Jeremy Scahill??

[arvydas0069]

He's gay and was booted out of the Military. He hates the Military and Private Security Firms. He's also preparing a Documentary called "Don't Ask Don't Tell: The Story of Jeremy Scahill."

[homeperson]

wait, seriously? He's gay? How would you know?

[arvydas0069]

HE HAS A MAN-CRUSH ON BLACKWATER.

P.S. CNN international sucks. We get it here in Iraq

its filled with more sensational news than american stations

[crocop60]

Holy hell, did this guy just compare Blackwater to Islamic extremists...I've heard enough.

[arvydas0069]

Yeah dude....Scahills a piece of work. One minute everyone claims to love you when you are working Special Operations and serving in Iraq in the Military, then you retire and the Department of State needs your skills for this contract and then the same person who served his country honorably is being blasted by Jeremy Scahill for driving an armored Suburban carrying a politician to a dangerous part of Baghdad. What a piece of shit. Jealous dude. They make 180k a year, he makes shitty films

[jmr334]

Amen to that brother! Where does he get his crappy information from anyway? A cracker jack box?

[LuckyLukarse1981]

A company that has no problems killing innocent civilians vs insurgent groups that have no problem killing innocent civilians. This is why I get pissed about my country of Australia's shocking refugee amnesty record. If I was a peace lovin family man I'd have tried to get out of there along time ago, family in tow on a vessel of any suitability.

Can we use the moon to hold battles / wars on in the future???

[memalley]

great work from mr scahill. however his request for US payed reparations is more dramatic than necessary.

[ReactorBlack]

"Pay Reporations to Iraqi People!?!?!" SURE ILL GET RIGHT ON THAT, JUST ADD ANOTHER TAX TO MY INCOME ALONG WITH UNIFORMAL HEATHCARE AND ANOTHER INCREASE IN STATE TAX!

[xenos82]

How sad is it that this is relegated to CNN International? Would "regular" CNN ever have Scahill on?

[silverton7777]

Americans Blackwater will be used to guard the white house someday. The US dallor is worthless paper and these guys will be payed in gold once America falls. You stupid blind people wake up smell the quality of life droping in the USA. 300,000,000 million fighting for survival.

[eddyshow]

Now! i could see how the Nazi party could rise with so much power. many white people think they are the worlds boss..help me why..

[TonyFuckingDanza]

Jeremy Scahill isn't an American investigative journalist, but he plays one on TV.

[rtwngactvst]

Support blackwater on myspace /blackwater1997

[ingance]

no thanks, christains wouldnt be in a war zone, killing people. no thanks.

[arkivx1]

That must be some real tasty cool aid you guys are sipping on.

[wiskawind]

Some people won't wake up, until a Blackwater gun is pointed at their OWN head. They have this illusion of freedom and will be the first in line to get the new RFID chip. Our Forefathers are rolling in their graves!

[wiskawind]

I believe the reason Blackwater is in Iraq, is to keep the fighting going. Bush won't leave Iraq and he will attack Iran! If Bush uses Directive 51, Bush can and will turn Blackwater loose on us!

[almdrs]

How low do you want to get?

[marinello6]

We never had any business in Iraq and anyone that works for Blackwater is a low-life sell out. No one can tell me that there hasn't been thousands of cover-ups. Fuck this occupation. Estimates of dead civilians is near one million. The American people are good. If they were told the truth from the start, we would have gotten out immediately.

[JayVeera1]

Go BlackWater!!! I'm proud of you...we are the god's greatest, the untouchable!!! See what we can do to the Iraqis.

[fitnesslifestyle]

JayVeera1, you are scum under my shoe.lie on the train tracks or something useful like that.

[ingance]

so killing people is okay? killing children?, doing all of this killing and murders. thats okay? you dont know about The Creator. youre being misguided.

[straightchris]

The wage for a mercenary is about $300 - $400 per day, good money for a trained killer from poor country.

DynCorp can undercut the price of Blackwater and their personnel aren't nearly as nice...

Donald Rumsfeld: "We do demolition; we don't do reconstruction."

[arkivx1]

Why didn' he stand up to saddam or the mullah's in Iran right now? Because he is a coward, he knows Bush won't do anything to him or his supporters you can't say the same about the Iranian theocratic dictators can you?

[fitnesslifestyle]

arkivx1-what the fuck are you trying to say?Remember 1 thing,the person who spoke spoke the truth,showed his face-(but no response from blackwater)-how onvenient.remember Vietnam?people fighting yanks with spades,yanks run.this time yanks can NOT run,sad for good Americans that are honest :(

[arkivx1]

Jeremy Scahill is a spineless retard what does he thin is going to happen in a war? They are doing a good job and he hates that the Bush admin is kicking ass in Iraq. He wants Iran an Syria to take over Iraq, he is on the side of The terrorist.

[dougzilla]

Jeremy Scahill standing up to the Bush administration's stupid war and the private military contractors is any but spineless. Reporting the truth is a brave thing to do and more people should do it.

arkivx1 - Your labeling people whose viewpoint is different than yours as "on the side of The terrorist" is truly spineless and retarded.

[Jonchess]

I agree with you .

the other guys a propaganda plant.

Scahill's a star and has helped get the word out about US deceit and cover-ups over Iraq together with allowing the merecenaries to act as their stormtroopers.

[delaneyIRA]

arkivx1, if your so god damn tough, sign up for the military and go fight. Your such a moron. I bet you are a PR official for blackwater. Arent you? Either way your a hippocrate tool who doesnt know his asshole from his earhole.

[delaneyIRA]

i hope you get killed when an iraqi terrorist comes to america and blows himself up in response to some scumbag mercenary killing his family... i hope your mother gets lung cancer and your kids get aids. Only then will you understand what it is to be in an unfair situation... Go get your legs blown off you retard

[arkivx1]

you must be all Hillary plant from moveon with all that hate, you have. Freedom isn't free it is paid for in blood, in war people die, it sucks,but at least now Saddam is gone and the Iraqis have there country back..
