In the wake of a rumor that WikiLeaks may soon publish a number of secret State Department cables, some are saying that the Pentagon is on the hunt for the whistleblowing organization’s founder Julian Assange. On GRITtv with Laura Flanders, Nation writer and blogger Jeremy Scahill says that while Assange may not exactly be on the run to the extent that is being portrayed, diplomats have reason to be concerned about what Wikileaks may have in its possession. “I think a lot of diplomats around the world are very, very nervous. At a minimum, they’re going to want to talk to Julian Assange,” Scahill says. “He denies that he has them [the cables], by the way.” In addition to discussions of a potential secret prison and interrogation facility within the Bagram Air Base and the New York Times’s coverage of Afghanistan’s mineral wealth, Scahill and Flanders talk about Erik Prince and rumors that Blackwater, his controversial private military company, is for sale. “There are rumors that he [Prince] may be the target of an investigation,” Scahill says. “If you’re on the market for a private army, you could probably buy cheap and buy fast if you’re interested.
Stop wars for empire and profit and stop war profiteers. How sad we’re here. Thank God for courageous reporting.
this is news
Who is that reptilian freak calling a “weird guy” — Get a mirror man!
Scahill is great, I just often wonder how he’s still alive.
@CityzenJane who you calling a reptilian freak? foolish wierdo
@LazyOtaku the reptilian freak actually… If you don’t see it I can’t help you.
Hint: not Scahill, not Flanders
@CityzenJane I only paid attention to Scahill..
Nothing more boring then liberal assholes making shit up for their moonbat followers!
Fucking liberals, are they good for anything but whinng?
Scahill is a portrait of courage. This type of journalism is becoming the past and hard to find in the US mass media. Keep up the good work Jeremy. Nincumpoopie and his/her conservative friends can go back and watch FOX news to further dumb yourselves.
The war on terror is as FAKE as the war on drugs. The central bankers intelligence arms (CIA, MI6, Mossad) are the REAL terrorists and drug runners.
WAKE UP!
The ‘money/property system’ is the ROOT cause of all problems and luckily it is obsolete. We need to make all earth’s resources ‘common heritage’ to all people and create automated systems to produce abundance, then all the wars, crime, poverty, etc. will end, and we will be on the path to prosperity.

@Nincumpoopie Why are we paying you CIA trolls to post on these clips? A waste of taxpayer money! Get back to work pushing the government line…
@Nincumpoopie they aint liberals dumbass
The foundation of the human family rests on truth.
Deception is like building a house of cards on a frozen lake
-there is no way for it to succeed.
It will eventually collapse into toxic misfortune.
We’ve reached a crossroads.
For the human species to survive
we need a positive human family helping each other.
The positive vision of the unity of the human family has been established
through the wisdom of Buddha, Jesus, Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr. as well as many unsung heroes.
Be True
@Nincumpoopie Liberal? Like Thomas Jefferson? Jefferson was pretty clear how he felt about wars of aggression by an unconstitutional standing army.
Blackwater mercenaries are war criminals.
US Army,CIA,US government = Real Terorists
