Jeremy Scahill: Oscar Nod for "Dirty Wars" Could Raise Awareness of Ongoing U.S. Drone Strikes

Published on Dec 5, 2013

http://www.democracynow.org - Just over six months ago, President Obama gave a major address unveiling new guidelines to limit drone strikes abroad, vowing to narrow the scope of the U.S. targeted killing campaign. But a new analysis by the Bureau of Investigative Journalism has raised questions about how much Obama's new rules have actually constrained the drone program. The Bureau found that while the total number of strikes has slightly decreased, more people were killed in Yemen and Pakistan by covert drone strikes strikes in the past six months than in the six months preceding Obama's address. We speak with independent journalist Jeremy Scahill, who documentary film, "Dirty Wars: The World is a Battlefield," directed by Richard Rowley, was one of 15 feature documentaries shortlisted this week for an Oscar.
