Journalist/author Jeremy Scahill gave a hard-hitting address on the subject of America's "Dirty Wars" at Harvard U. on 4-27-2013. It was followed by panel discussion with Jeremy, Amy Goodman, and Noam Chomsky. Scahill discusses some of the dirtiest, ugliest, and most murderous secrets of the Obama administration and that of several other earlier Presidents.
Scahill is author of "Dirty Wars: The World Is a Battlefield" (just out), and before that "Blackwater: The Rise of the World's Most Powerful Mercenary Army" (2008). He and Rick Rowley co-produced the film "Dirty Wars: The World Is a Battlefield" (opening June 14 at the Kendall Cinema, Cambridge).
Of particular significance: Scahill observes that Obama not only continued all the outrageous Bush programs of secrecy, war promotion, civil liberties elimination, and lies and coverups in full force, but in fact has intensified them. Meanwhile the great body of liberals who were angry at Bush don't seem to want to criticize Obama.

The recording was made, and aired in part, by WZBC's Truth and Justice Radio. For more info: truthandjusticeradio.org and/or wzbc.org
Professor Chomsky's voice (but not his intellect) has declined in the course of his 80+ distinguished years. While the live audience did not hear a lot of what he said, you electronic listeners will hear it because we have amplified his remarks dramatically. Naturally, you'll also hear amplified background sounds.
