I have nothing but the greatest respect for Doug Valentine. I agree with Peter
that it is very sad to see him bashing Scahill. I just watched this film and while I do not disagree with Doug's issues, the film was worthy of viewing by the widest possible audience.
I did not get the sense that Scahill was attempting to convey that this is something new. Then again I also read much of The Winter soldier investigation in 1973, so am more than aware of just what our soldiers and black ops
"specialists" do in the name of ..."war".
I hope everyone here sees this film.
