In an explosive new article in The Nation magazine, investigative journalist and Democracy Now! correspondent Jeremy Scahill reveals the private military firm Blackwater is part of a covert program in Pakistan that includes planning the assassination and kidnapping of Taliban and Al-Qaeda suspects. Blackwater is also said to be involved in a previously undisclosed U.S. military drone campaign that has killed scores of people inside Pakistan. The article says the program has become so secretive that top Obama administration and military officials have likely been unaware of its existence. In a Democracy Now! exclusive, Scahill joins us for his first interview since the story broke

  • i think its fucking hilarious that they would suggest that we have blackwater working for another country when in fact blackwater is pretty much on a U.S. government retainer and is owned by a former U.S. Navy SEAL...and you want to tell me that guy is disloyal and would send people to their deaths for plausible deniability...GO FUCK YOURSELF YOU PRETENTIOUS POLE SMOKER, Scahill, go play in traffic.

  • Mercs have been used through out history... Get over it.

  • ...And Jeremy Scahill is a puny little anti american liberal that would rather portray the American troop as a thug in a uniform while he gives sympathy to shady Muslims. Just read his book entitled "Blackwater" of you don't believe me.

  • These aren't mercinaries. Mercs will fight and kill for the highest bidder. Contractors are people being employed (by whatever their country, not just US.. there are contractors from many countries) by their own country under contract. Get it straight assclowns. And most contractors are there on a defensive purpose, many protect convoys, supply lines, construction and other stuff.

  • you dont want our soliders to die in battle and dont want to send mercinaries either.

    have your cake and eat it......

  • hanged

  • Pakistani need to wake up their destabilizing Pakistan, the US is at war with Pakistan try to break it in to pieces we need to fight back and kick the fucking stooge government of ours and hang every blackwater affiliate in Pakistan.

  • The Progressive hypcrites strike again.. YEP, you dumb fuck, Its Obama who has increased the use of Military contractors. Yet I dont hear a fucking thing about that. GO FUCK YOURSELF.

  • what a joke. even the president has to be briefed on what Special Forces and contracting agencies do and yet this guy knows it all...pathetic.

  • shuv it up ur ass's u anti America pro kill A merica ass-wipes

  • @ObamaTheRealLoser Though I necessarily don't agree with the war. I also don't agree with the 280 bases we have in 130 countries. So claiming "jews" is the problem is just plain old crazy.
