The Nation‘s Jeremy Scahill, author of Blackwater: The Rise of the World’s Most Powerful Mercenary Army, talks to Keith Olbermann about the latest devastating news about Blackwater: its involvement with the CIA’s covert assassination program. Scahill details the revolving door between Blackwater and the CIA and the intelligence services run by the company that simultaneously works for the US and foreign governments. He also points out that Blackwater served to prevent executive branch accountability to the other two branches, saying “It’s like Lord of the Christian Supremacist Flies here.”
