1. I got a real bad feeling about this....Scahill is the person to listen too.

David Corn once said the CIA are good people.

3. me too

I trust him way more than ANY politician. From the end of his alternet article....


Jeremy Scahill pledges to be the same journalist under an Obama administration that he was during Bill Clinton and George Bush's presidencies. He is the author of Blackwater: The Rise of the World's Most Powerful Mercenary Army and is a frequent contributor to The Nation and Democracy Now! He is a Puffin Foundation Writing Fellow at the Nation Institute.

7. He's keeping up with current events while pointing out the past ....

of Obama's appointees. David Corn is somebody who I don't trust, years ago he attacked those who questioned the official report on 9/11 as nuts etc. I found out he has a cozy relationship with the CIA--that's how he gets his interviews.

4. The people you surround yourself with ...

Heh, I don't want to go down that rabbit hole.

6. neoconservative Project for the New American Century

His refusal to "rule out" using Blackwater and other armed private forces in U.S. war zones, despite previously introducing legislation to regulate these companies and bring them under U.S. law.

A few have worked with the neoconservative Project for the New American Century, whose radical agenda was adopted by the Bush/Cheney administration.

given a little more background on that.
