Really well made documentary. I''ve always really liked Jeremy Scahill''s reporting.
Jeremy Scahill gives us some truth behind America''s covert operations in various countries...shows how these actions affect the people in those countries...it''s hard to believe how the USA government puts innocent people''s life on the line...
The executive branch of the American government has made the war on terror an endless quagmire as collateral damage from its operations just adds the friends and families of the innocent killed to the people who hate us. Plus who knows the legality of killing people, including Americans, all over the world with no due process?
