Jeremy Scahill, Nation correspondent and author of Blackwater: The Rise of the World’s Most Powerful Mercenary Army, appears on The Rachel Maddow Show to talk about what it means that two of those killed in a suicide bombing at a CIA outpost in Afghanistan last week were Blackwater contractors. Despite denials that a CIA/Blackwater relationship exists, there continue to be alarming signs of their close ties, and Scahill’s ongoing investigation continues to uncover them. “We’re talking about a CIA outpost that was responsible for hunting the highest of the high-value targets,” says Scahill, “and to have two Blackwater personnel there…shows just how close Blackwater remains to the epicenter of the most sensitive operations.”
