Our nation, our morals.

'Dirty Wars' - book by Jeremy Scahill and upcoming documentary based on the same.

A few weeks ago the author was on Tavis Smiley show. At one point during the interview Tavis, to paraphrase him, said he felt embarrassed as a black man, since our targeted assassination program responsible for killing women and children, is overseen by two black men, President Barack Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder. While race is definitely not an issue here, Tavis was entitled to personalize it at some level, since many black supporters view black politicians as belonging to the tradition of MLK, civil rights and social justice. More so when the President is the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize and frequently invokes Mahatma Gandhi, and picked this champion of non-violence when once asked whom he would like to have dinner with.
