its not a 'claim' watch his film that was up for an academy award
there is a scene in mogadishu where he is in the morgue there is a dead body and him in the scene he is standing right next to it - the person was hit by a drone strike
no journalist gets filmed with dead bodies it is unethical it never happens
perhaps if you were a journalist in the field you would understand
Absolutely. The first thing any good journalist should think when he's investigating drone strikes and is permitted to witness the examination of a body of a victim is "shit, don't film me here, where I am! So gauche!"
You're being ironic, I trust. I rather think that "Dirty Wars" should have shown lots of remains, and sequences of people looking for little burned bits scattered about. Maybe the film did feature too much of Scahill. He's no Michael Moore. But a scene showing Obama receiving some gift made from a victim's femur would have been priceless :) <SNIP>
