Jeremy Scahill: Dems are "Nowhere" on Civil Liberties

Views:943
@ReasonVids

"Where are all these serious Democrats who believe in civil liberties?" asks Jeremy Scahill, author of Dirty Wars, the provocative book that is now an award-winning documentary. "They're nowhere."

Scahill talked with Reason's Matt Welch about how congressional Democrats have abdicated their moral standing when it comes the domestic and foreign aspects of the war on terror. And how unexpected champions such as Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) have stepped up in their absence.

About 50 seconds long. Please share this video and be sure to watch the full 40-minute interview when it's posted.

Check out what Scahill has to say about Obama's inexplicable vendetta against the press at http://youtu.be/Vxj6ncrLWw8

Produced by Anthony L. Fisher. Camera by Jim Epstein and Fisher.

MUSIC: "Dramamine" by Podington Bear (http://podingtonbear.com/)
