Born
Jeremy M. Scahill

October 18, 1974
OccupationInvestigative journalist

Jeremy Scahill (born October 18, 1974) is the National Security Correspondent for The Nation magazine[1] and author of the international bestseller Blackwater: The Rise of the World’s Most Powerful Mercenary Army, which won the George Polk Book Award.[2] Scahill is a Fellow at The Nation Institute.[3] He is also a producer and writer of the film Dirty Wars, which will premiere at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival.[4] He lives in Brooklyn, NY.

Early Life

Scahill was raised in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, by “social activist” parents, and graduated from Wauwatosa East High School in 1992.[5] He attended a few University of Wisconsin regional campuses and a local technical college before deciding that his “time would be better spent by entering the struggle for justice in this country.” After dropping out of college, Scahill spent several years on the East Coast working in homeless shelters. He started his career as an unpaid intern at Democracy Now!. While there he learned the technical side of radio, and learned "journalism as a trade, rather than an academic study."[6]

Scahill discusses the roots of his activism: “I think we all have to remember something that Dan Berrigan, the radical Catholic priest, said about Dorothy Day, founder of the Catholic Worker movement. He said she lived as though the truth were true.” And: “Victory is relative when you listen to the powerful. But we have a victory in our midst, because the entire world is on our side. So I say that we call for an end to the death penalty in this country, and we call for an end to the collective death penalty being meted out on the rest of the world by this criminal government.”[7]

He also worked in 2000 as a producer for Michael Moore's TV series The Awful Truth on the Bravo network. [8]

Career as a journalist

Scahill became a senior producer and correspondent for Democracy Now! and remains a frequent contributor to the program. Scahill and his Democracy Now! colleague Amy Goodman were co-recipients of the 1998 George Polk Award for their radio documentary "Drilling and Killing: Chevron and Nigeria's Oil Dictatorship", which investigated the Chevron Corporation's role in the killing of two Nigerian environmental activists.[9]

Scahill has reported from Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, Yemen, the former Yugoslavia,[10] post-Katrina Louisiana,[11] and elsewhere across the globe. Scahill is a frequent guest on a wide array of programs, appearing regularly on The Rachel Maddow Show,[12] Real Time with Bill Maher,[13] and Democracy Now![14] He has also appeared on ABC World News, CBS Evening News, NBC Nightly News, CNN, The NewsHour, "MSNBC,"[15] Bill Moyers Journal,[16] and NPR.[17]

Scahill has written for The Times of London, the Sunday Telegraph, the BBC, The Indypendent,[18] The Los Angeles Times,[19] Z Magazine,[20] Socialist Worker,[21] International Socialist Review,[22] The Progressive,[23] and In These Times.[24] In addition, Scahill has posted material to the websites Alternet[25] and Counterpunch.[26]

He has been a vocal critic of private military contractors, particularly Blackwater Worldwide, which is the subject of his book, Blackwater: The Rise of the World's Most Powerful Mercenary Army.[27] The book received numerous accolades, including the Alternet Best Book of the Year Award, a spot on both the Barnes & Noble and Amazon lists of the Best Nonfiction Books of 2007, and notable mention in the New York Times[28].

Scahill’s work has sparked several Congressional investigations. In 2010 Scahill testified before the House Judiciary Committee on the US's shadow wars in Pakistan, Yemen, and elsewhere, in which he stated:

As the war rages on in Afghanistan and--despite spin to the contrary--in Iraq as well, US Special Operations Forces and the Central Intelligence Agency are engaged in parallel, covert, shadow wars that are waged in near total darkness and largely away from effective or meaningful Congressional oversight or journalistic scrutiny. The actions and consequences of these wars is seldom discussed in public or investigated by the Congress. The current US strategy can be summed up as follows: We are trying to kill our way to peace. And the killing fields are growing in number.[29]

In July 2011, Scahill revealed the existence of a CIA-run counterterrorism center at the airport in Mogadishu, Somalia, and reports on a previously unknown secret prison buried in the basement of the US-funded Somali National Security Agency. A US official confirms to Scahill that US agents interrogate prisoners in the facility.

When the public became aware of President Obama's "Kill List,"[30] Scahill was frequently cited as an expert on the topic of extrajudicial killings and interviewed in the media.[31]

Works

Blackwater

Scahill's first book Blackwater: The Rise of the World's Most Powerful Mercenary Army,[32] thoroughly revised and updated to include the Nisour Square massacre, was released in paperback edition in 2008. Blackwater is the unauthorized story of the epic rise of one of the most powerful and secretive forces to emerge from the U.S. military-industrial complex, hailed by the Bush administration as a revolution in military affairs, but considered by others as a dire threat to American democracy. “Jeremy Scahill’s exposé of the Blackwater mercenary firm forcefully demonstrates the grave dangers of outsourcing the government’s monopoly on the use of force.”- Joseph Wilson, former U.S. Ambassador to Iraq[33]

Traveling around the hurricane zone in the wake of Katrina, Scahill exposed the presence of Blackwater mercenaries in New Orleans and his reporting sparked a Congressional inquiry and an internal Department of Homeland Security investigation.[34]

Dirty Wars Book

Scahill's upcoming book with Nation Books,[35] Dirty Wars: The World is a Battlefield, is set for release in Spring 2013.

Dirty Wars Film

Scahill is a producer and writer of the film Dirty Wars: The World is a Battlefield.[36] Dirty Wars follows Scahill into the heart of America’s covert wars, from Afghanistan to Yemen, Somalia and beyond. What begins as an investigation into a US night raid gone terribly wrong in a remote corner of Afghanistan quickly transforms into a high-stakes global investigation into one of the most secretive and powerful military units in American history. With a strong cinematic style, the film unfolds like an action movie wrapped around a complex detective story. As Scahill digs deeper into the activities of the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC), he is forced to confront painful truths about the consequences of a war without end that extends through Republican and Democratic administrations. Pulled deeper into the stories he investigates and the lives of the people he meets along the way, Scahill realizes that the investigation has transformed him. Along the way we meet two parallel casts of characters. The CIA agents, shooters, military generals, and Special Forces operators who populate the dark side of American wars go on camera and on the record, some for the first time. We also see and hear directly from survivors of night raids and drone strikes. We walk the bombed out streets of Mogadishu with CIA-backed warlords and meet the family of an American citizen, marked for death and being hunted by his own government.

Tracing the rise of JSOC, the most secret and elite fighting force in U.S. history, Dirty Wars reveals cover operations unknown to the public and carried out across the globe by men who do not exist on paper and will never appear before Congress. In military jargon, JSOC teams "find, fix and finish" their targets, who are selected through a secret process. No target is off limits for the "kill list," including U.S. citizens. Dirty Wars takes viewers to remote corners of the globe to see first-hand wars fought in their name and offers a behind-the-scenes look at a high-stakes investigation. We are left with haunting questions about freedom and democracy, war and justice.[37]

Awards and Recognition

Scahill has won numerous awards, including the prestigious George Polk Award (twice)[38], numerous Project Censored Awards, and the Izzy Award,[39] named after the muckraking journalist I.F. Stone. He was among the few Western reporters to gain access to the Abu Ghraib prison when Saddam Hussein was in power and his story on the emptying of that prison won a 2003 Golden Reel Award from The National Federation of Community Broadcasters.[40]

Abdulelah Haider Shaye

Scahill has been an advocate for imprisoned Yemeni journalist Abdulelah Haider Shaye. Scahill's March 13, 2012, article in The Nation states that President Obama leaned on Yemen to keep Shaye in jail because of his reporting on the 2009 Al Ma`jalah bombings—Shaye described remnants of US Tomahawk missiles, although the US initially denied involvement.[41] Subsequent English-language reports on the issue have relied on Scahill.[42] [43][44]
