(39,909 posts)50. Gee, was he paid by the same undisclosed organizations to Rat Fuck Bush all those years too?
Between 2001-2003, Scahill reported frequently from Baghdad for Democracy Now! and other media outlets. As the Iraq invasion began, Scahill appeared frequently on Democracy Now!, often co-hosting with Amy Goodman.[14]
Scahill has reported from Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, Yemen, the former Yugoslavia,[15] post-Katrina Louisiana,[16] and elsewhere across the globe. Scahill is a frequent guest on a wide array of programs, appearing regularly on The Rachel Maddow Show,[17] Real Time with Bill Maher,[18] and Democracy Now![19] He has also appeared on ABC World News, CBS Evening News, NBC Nightly News, The Daily Show,[20] CNN, The NewsHour, MSNBC,[21] "Bill Moyers Journal,"[22] and NPR.[23][24][25] In addition, Scahill has written for The Times, the Sunday Telegraph, the BBC, The Indypendent,[26] The Los Angeles Times,[27] Z Magazine,[28] Socialist Worker,[29] International Socialist Review,[30] The Progressive,[31] "In These Times,[32] and The Guardian.[33] In addition, Scahill has posted material to the websites Alternet[34] and CounterPunch.[35]
He has been a vocal critic of private military contractors, particularly Blackwater Worldwide, which is the subject of his book, Blackwater: The Rise of the World's Most Powerful Mercenary Army.[36] The book received numerous accolades, including the Alternet Best Book of the Year Award, a spot on both the Barnes & Noble and Amazon lists of the Best Nonfiction Books of 2007, and notable mention in the New York Times.[37]

Scahill is one of our premier Investigative Journalists in a time when few remain.
He has remained consistent whether Bush or Obama was in the White House.
If you want to find "rat fuckers" (people without a Moral Compass), find those who change their view on The Issues when different personalities occupy the White House.
If it was NOT OK when Bush did it,
its NOT OK when Obama does it.
Your post was the best Joke of the Day so far.
The sad thing is that that is becoming an increasingly popular attack on those with a Moral Compass at DU,...
that somehow anyone STILL against our MilitaryCorporate
World Domination through Murder and Torture must be on somebody's payroll
to help the Republicans.
You will know them by their WORKS,
not by their [ipromises or excuses.

Yep. "Bring it on!" "Smoke 'em out!" Obama style. All that's missing is the cowboy boots.

A trillion dollars worth of mineral deposits are why we are still in Afghanistan.

Thank you. It's really so simple you wonder why some people just can't get it.
