[LAAMN] Dear Friends, If you still believe Obama is somehow a good president, please listen to Jeremy Scahill & Rick Rowley as they talk with Amy Goodman about their new film: "DIRTY WARS: The World

[Frank Dorrel]

Dear Friends, 
If you still believe Obama is somehow a good president, please listen to
Jeremy Scahill & Rick Rowley as they talk with Amy Goodman about their new
film: 

"DIRTY WARS: The World Is A Battlefield"

Scahill & Rowley's New Film Exposes Hidden Truths of Covert U.S. Warfare
www.dirtywars.org 

"We're looking right now at a reality that President Obama has essentially
extended the very policies that many of his supporters once opposed under
President Bush," says Scahill.
Premiering this week at the Sundance Film Festival in Utah, the new
documentary "Dirty Wars: The World is a Battlefield" follows investigative
reporter Jeremy Scahill to Afghanistan, Somalia and Yemen as he chases down
the hidden truths behind America's expanding covert wars. We're joined by
Scahill and the film's director, Rick Rowley, an independent journalist with
Big Noise Films. "We're looking right now at a reality that President Obama
has essentially extended the very policies that many of his supporters once
opposed under President Bush," says Scahill, author of the bestseller
"Blackwater: The Rise of the World's Most Powerful Mercenary Army" and a
forthcoming book named after his film. "One of the things that humbles both
of us is that when you arrive in a village in Afghanistan and knock on
someone's door, you're the first American they've seen since the Americans
that kicked that door in and killed half their family," Rowley says. "We
promised them that we would do everything we could to make their stories be
heard in the U.S. ... Finally we're able to keep those promises." 
Guests:
Jeremy Scahill  ,
Producer and writer of the documentary film Dirty Wars: The World is a
Battlefield, which just premiered here at the Sundance Film Festival. He is
national security correspondent for The Nation, author of "Blackwater: The
Rise of the World's Most Powerful Mercenary Army".
Richard Rowley  ,
Director of the documentary film "Dirty Wars: The World is a Battlefield",
which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival. An independent journalist
with Big Noise Films.

Transcript
AMY GOODMAN: We have flown from Washington, D.C., from the inauguration, to
Park City, Utah, to cover the Sundance Film Festival. It's the 10th
anniversary of the documentary track. And we're going to start off by
getting response to President Obama's inaugural address. On Monday,
President Obama declared a decade of war is now ending and that lasting
peace does not require perpetual war. But he never mentioned the wars in
Iraq or Afghanistan by name.
There was also no mention about the secret drone war that's vastly expanded
under President Obama. On the same day he gave his inaugural address, a U.S.
drone strike killed three people in Yemen east of the capital, Sana'a. Also
Monday, President Obama officially nominated John Brennan to be director of
the CIA, succeeding retired Army General David Petraeus, who resigned.
Nicknamed the "assassination czar" by some, Brennan was the first Obama
administration official to publicly confirm drone attacks overseas and to
defend their legality. Four years ago, John Brennan was a rumored pick for
the CIA job when Obama was first elected but was forced to withdraw from
consideration amidst protests over his role at the CIA under the Bush
administration. Obama also officially nominated Chuck Hagel to head defense
and John Kerry to become secretary of state on Monday.
Well, joining us here in Park City, Utah, is Jeremy Scahill, national
security correspondent for The Nation magazine. He is featured in and
co-wrote the new documentary Dirty Wars: The World is a Battlefield.
Jeremy's latest book, with the same title, is due out in April.
We're also joined by Dirty Wars director Richard Rowley, independent
journalist with Big Noise Films. The film premiered here at the Sundance
Film Festival in the U.S. documentary competition section. And when we flew
into Salt Lake City last night, we went directly to the Salt Lake City
Library, where there was a packed, sold-out crowd to see the-a showing of
Dirty Wars. We want to congratulate you, Jeremy and Rick, on this absolutely
remarkable film.
RICK ROWLEY: Thank you.
AMY GOODMAN: And I think it's very appropriate to begin our four days of
broadcasting here at Park City, on this day after the inauguration of
President Obama, to begin with Dirty Wars: The World is a Battlefield.
Jeremy, talk about President Obama's first four years and where we're going
now. You got a chance to hear his inaugural address; what you thought of it?
JEREMY SCAHILL: Well, you know, I think if we look back at the-at the first
term of the Obama administration, what we saw was you had this very popular
Democratic president that had-who had campaigned, in terms of his broader
rhetoric during the president
