About this movie

This eye-opening documentary lays bare the dirty little secret of America's War on Terror: all bets are off, and almost anything goes. Drone strikes, night raids and government--condoned torture occur in hidden corners across the globe, generating unprecedented civilian casualties. Investigative reporter Jeremy Scahill traces the rise of the Joint Special Operations Command, the most secret and elite fighting force in U.S. history, exposing covert ops, unidentifiable fighters who act with impunity and "kill lists" where no target is off-limits.

Ratings and reviews

I'm sorry to say but a lot of what is shown is not much more then someone reaching to connect dots. They point out those bullet holes and how they'd be patched recently, but look at the paint, if they'd been patched recently the paint wouldn't look 15 years old, and so dried out that the clay shrank.

Scahill outlines how he discovers the reach and scope of American military operations, also eloquently documenting the human cost and the anger it creates.

I support the freedom of speech. But, this journalist is as weak as a hamster.
