Greenwald, Scahill step down from The Intercept
It's about damn time ;) http://chronicle.su/2015/03/07/greenwald-scahill-step-down-from-the-intercep... INTERNET — Glenn Greenwald and Jeremy Scahill announced they were leaving The Intercept, Saturday, citing conflicts of interest with Pierre Omidyar, founder and owner. In an exclusive interview with the Internet Chronicle, Scahill said, “Firstly, I’m sorry to the folks at Pando. I ran my mouth off on twitter, but then I did my research and it was obvious that The Intercept’s founder, Pierre, was off fomenting world wars in Ukraine on behalf of the US government. I can’t report on anything and take money like that.” Scahill heaved a sigh of relief and his eyes watered, “When I came to Glenn and told him why I had to step down, he laughed and told me, ‘Your bravery is inspiring,’ and then he said how guilty he was at backing Tor, a pseudo-activist internet cloaking device built and maintained by the US Navy.” Greenwald apologized to Yasha Levine of Pando, who reported on Tor’s funding, saying, “I know I called you a conspiracy theorist, but I was just shooting from the hip. I’m sorry for that. I had backed Tor for too long. I now know that you’re basically right. Tor is a military-backed project working towards the military’s ends and I was a useful idiot that drew in countless thousands by promoting it. And Pierre Omidyar, he was always pushing me to put Tor into my stories even when it didn’t fit. The guilt will haunt me to my death, but at least if I speak out now I can minimize the damage to others, even though it damages me personally. It isn’t easy to admit you’ve been accidentally doing propaganda work for the US military, but it sure is a relief to get away from The Intercept.” Greenwald’s eyes twinkled as he said, “Snowden’s dream can finally come true. We’re going to do it, finally. We’re going to publish the list of people who are in prison because of the NSA’s illegal parallel investigations, and they’re going to go free, god dammit!” Both Greenwald and Scahill remain upbeat and have already joined the staff at Internet Chronicle, where they will take a massive pay cut and forego all bylines for a year in an act of voluntary penitence as they work on freeing the victims of illegal NSA wiretapping.

Speaking about facts checking: intrigued by these allegations I looked up wiki on Omydiar, and his network association is said to have partnered with the CIA, which is not generally all about "philanthropy", although this claim lack any reference. Would someone know why is the Agency mentioned there? Aside from that, financed projects include "mobile intelligence" for prospectors and deploying banks onto mobile phones to make sure everyone even in Africa pays his fees to the landlords. They even dare to say it's cheaper than cash. I wonder how that is. Anyway... Wild allegations are very entertaining, but seriously what's the real meaning of this about Tor? Because no technical evidence suggest it is "backdoored" (whatever that would mean, this is a trendy word, makes the one who says it sound so l33t in journalism circles). On the other hand, Tor devs are more and more often prone on reminding that traffic analysis/correlation is not part of their threat model. The problem is that it is nowadays a definitely proven capability of adversaries. I really can't help thinking this is a deliberate desire of keeping Tor at government's reach because the eternal argument they oppose do not stand. They say that randomized wait times at each relay would make the traffic too slow. But I remember using Tor 8 years ago when it took forever to load a Web page, and still did I use it in spite of this major extra effort, because anonymous surfing was such a blast. Today the network is fast enough to be able to swap 25% speed for a massive increase of anonymity. The other solution, randomized length of packets with dummy padding discarded at each relay would impact even less on responsiveness. I honestly can't see why they legitimately refuse to implement this. They seem to think that the need to observe both ends is too hard. Did they hear about the BGP routing attack that targeted Iceland? Funny how the Silk Road server was found a month later in... Oh shit, Iceland. When you claim to protect activists with government money, you'd better not show dubious intentions if people trust are what you depend on. Because that's why Tor was opened at first. The government officials needed to hide among civilian traffic. They do need the people to run nodes. Le 6 avril 2015 15:04:21 CEST, xezha <xezha@riseup.net> a écrit :

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 it isnt 'slander' if it is true so maybe you dont know anything about law either just because you have not run across other people criticising the great perfect white guy jeremy scahill doesnt mean it isnt happening - you seem to assume a lot and not ask questions just flame out assuming you know everything i think that is known as narcissism which people go to psychiatrists to get help working out of as its such a lethal condition but it isnt easy because narcissists think they are right all the time besides even if i was the only one criticising jeremy that doesnt prove me wrong - prove me wrong > go ahead try... also i knew the 'report' was false that you assume i thought it was true again proves my premise that you are narcissistic On Mon, Apr 6, 2015 at 4:03 PM, Alexis Wattel <alexiswattel@gmail.com> wrote:

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>

The point, which you seem to miss, was to make it real for the audience. It would have been better to shoot footage at the site of the drone strike, of course. But I presume that the crew didn't arrive in time for that. Anyway, by putting Scahill in the shot, they emphasize that he was there, and actually saw the victims. That could be CGIed, and so the audience still needs to trust him.

What matters most, to me, is that he made the documentary. And in that context, it seems odd to focus on his artistic (even moral) choices in how to make it.

You say "exploiting", and I say "making it real".
people when you are an ethical journalist you are careful not to exploit images of children, people that are unconscious etc as they do not have a say in the image content - if this is breeched it is possible they are being exploited but to then place oneself in the frame is just beyond all of that even - that is totally unethical

dear razor soldiers sign up to be filmed as far as i am concerned they have sold themselves - the journalist was not in the frame so i dont see why you think it relates to this argument - i think soldiers should always be filmed like the cops because i think the role they play is super psychotic - maybe if the images of them and what they are doing were distributed more it would be helpful i think it would have been ethical for scahill to film the dead body in the morgue - it would be great if they had the permission of the family but... its that he was in the frame thats really my big problem also the person in the scene with scahill - a white man - is a person of color (POC) which also was super problematic for me On Tue, Apr 7, 2015 at 2:02 AM, Cari Machet <carimachet@gmail.com> wrote:

Look (at least some of) the folks around here have a second brain cell, some even have third.
i worked at indymedia in new york city democracy now and pbs > wnet in the field in the middle east so... and other weird journo watchdoggie things on immi in iceland and on documentaries but besides that i am an activist and but also cover that in different places
You say you are a journalist, you say you are an activist, you say you worked in the middle east, you say all sorts of things. To me (TM) you're blowing your trumpet excessively. Once is ok, but to keep blowing your own trumpet, over and over again - as in, repeatedly - you know, more than once, carries implications; the exact implications will vary by listener and are likely -not- what you want arising within your reader's' minds. You also keep 'pushing' your journalistic 'cred' rather than spend that small effort to push the SHIFT key to capitalise your sentences and names - that's disrespectful or at least lazy. Some of us make the effort for you, yet you fail to return that courtesy. And a bloody small courtesy it is four a journalist.
frankly i have no clue why you are making such a big deal out of all of this
Ah ... who's making the big deal? Hmm... Listen I don't hold anything against you, I don't know you and I've been assuming ever since I first saw your emails on this list that you are posting with a fake name. I do know it's hard to see oneself - in the hindsight of reading my own emails after the fact I have embarrassed myself too many times, so I empathise with your plight.
- maybe ask yourself ... you take cheap base shots at people that are boring and have no place in advanced thinking debate
Pottle, meet ket :/ Given your loud self proclamations I suggest raising -your- tone. I would appreciate that. Secondly consider letting your work do the speaking for you. We have these little things called hyperlinks, which look somewhat like this: http://my.domain/some-intro-page.html - such a link in your email footer would allow those who would bother to verify about you for themselves without your dismal trumpet practice getting in the way. That's a win win, especially for you. Thirdly show a little respect to the people you write about (in email) and press the SHIFT key at the same time as you type the first letter of each name you type. Fourthly if your intention is to demonstrate consideration to your readers then also press that SHIFT key simultaneously to pressing the first letter of the first word of each sentence (these are usually the ones coming after a period). Fifthly raise your own tone; those with that second or third brain cell I spoke of can see black kettles for what they are - screeching about that from the stove top is not becoming for a so called 'journalist'. Not in the slightest. Did I mention anything about dignity? Well it's about your own behaviour not what others say. Problem with said screeching is sometimes 'you' mistake a beautiful silver carafe temporarily placed on the stove next to you, for a nasty black kettle; others see the silver carafe and cover their ears from the "BLACK KETTLE! BLACK KETTLE!" screeching; you start looking distinctly pot like and rather black. By the way that's not a good look - I can vouch for this from painful first hand experience :P A single rule for self which may work for you (or not, I dunno) is 'assume good intent'. When someone challenges self, perhaps self needs a challenge. When someone calls self a black kettle perhaps a little polishing of self is needed, a rib extraction, that sort of thing.

You say you are a journalist, you say you are an activist, you say you worked in the middle east, you say all sorts of things.
To me (TM) you're blowing your trumpet excessively.

Given your loud self proclamations I suggest raising -your- tone. I would appreciate that.
Secondly consider letting your work do the speaking for you.

That's a win win, especially for you.
Thirdly show a little respect to the people you write about (in email) and press the SHIFT key at the same time as you type the first letter of each name you type.
Fourthly if your intention is to demonstrate consideration to your readers then also press that SHIFT key simultaneously to pressing the first letter of the first word of each sentence (these are usually the ones coming after a period).
Fifthly raise your own tone; those with that second or third brain cell I spoke of can see black kettles for what they are - screeching about that from the stove top is not becoming for a so called 'journalist'. Not in the slightest. Did I mention anything about dignity? Well it's about your own behaviour not what others say. Problem with said screeching is sometimes 'you' mistake a beautiful silver carafe temporarily placed on the stove next to you, for a nasty black kettle; others see the silver carafe and cover their ears from the "BLACK KETTLE! BLACK KETTLE!" screeching; you start looking distinctly pot like and rather black.
By the way that's not a good look - I can vouch for this from painful first hand experience :P

The point, which you seem to miss, was to make it real for the audience. It would have been better to shoot footage at the site of the drone strike, of course. But I presume that the crew didn't arrive in time for that. Anyway, by putting Scahill in the shot, they emphasize that he was there, and actually saw the victims.

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 :)

Pictures of children, unconscious people, even--GASP--the dead can be perfectly ethical. Indeed, in my view a journalist usually has the *duty* to show their audience what they see, no matter how heart-wrenching or gruesome. Not to show the uncomfortable truth is the true breach of journalistic ethics. Should we censor thousands upon thousands of hours of war footage because the dead soldiers and civilians didn't get a say in it? Or does the public interest outweigh that concern? It's a balancing act, and depends on the broader context. Putting yourself in a shot is different territory, but can be ethical in some cases. One of those cases, in my opinion, is in a documentary showing the journalist's journey. This can be, and in the case of Dirty Wars in my opinion is, as illuminating as the 'ground truth' itself. It gives a context to the images which is otherwise missing and very difficult to understand on anything more than an abstract, cerebral level. Andrew
Not showing dead bodies of warfare helps sustain wars. Defense Dept doesn't want them shown so public will support sanitized war. News media doesn't want to show them so advertizers can show ads which seduce the public to wanting only sanitized news and war. Those who profit from sanitized war and news want to thrill the public with sanitized gore and business glory. Every war has a sanitization business supporting it, hiding carnage, cadavers, maimed, insane with film, books, video, literature, education, religion, and popular entertainers who valorize bloodthirstiness and cruelty, venality and greed with sanitized cariatures, games, parades, medals, cemetaries, monuments, pensions, vet hospitals, thanks for service. That way those who have experience actual war can find nobody who has not who can understand anything except the sanitized version. Grieving survivors can find nobody to grasp what they suffer. Traumatized vets wander among the sanitized zombies, whacking a few, noticing that none of the other zombies care a bit, dreaming this Django will end, this Dirty War will end, sure, take a photo of me with the ghoul, give me a Pulitzer, an Oscar, an Snowden factory byline.
i dont remember ever a journalist putting themselves in a shot like that i dont see how jeremy's head in that shot gives ANY context that brings it out of the abstract cerebral place - that it isnt actually in in the first place - dead bodies in mogadishu or the moon are not abstract or just floaty... not in my head at least not in my gut either or my big toe jeremy is from wisconsin i think is that what you think brings context? please you will have to bring more to the table than that... i am not swallowing listen i am all for showing a lot of stuff truelly really i am... but if you are on the ground as a journo you run across things that are just not ok to even film - its just like that i have other things as i originally posted that make all of this much worse for me > jeremy attacked mona eltahawy on twitter over her media 'junkets' in new york regarding the revolution in egypt he was really fucked up in doing it and i was like after that questioning his ethics then i saw this scene and i was like wtf i do not think he is ethical and for other reasons as well so... things pile up ya know and then you have to acknowledge them or you are a part of it in a way On Tue, Apr 7, 2015 at 1:32 AM, Andrew <kyboren@riseup.net> wrote:

Speaking about facts checking: intrigued by these allegations I looked up wiki on Omydiar, and his network association is said to have partnered with the CIA, which is not generally all about "philanthropy", although this claim lack any reference.
Would someone know why is the Agency mentioned there?
Aside from that, financed projects include "mobile intelligence" for prospectors and deploying banks onto mobile phones to make sure everyone even in Africa pays his fees to the landlords. They even dare to say it's cheaper than cash. I wonder how that is.
Anyway... Wild allegations are very entertaining, but seriously what's the real meaning of this about Tor? Because no technical evidence suggest it is "backdoored" (whatever that would mean, this is a trendy word, makes the one who says it sound so l33t in journalism circles).
On the other hand, Tor devs are more and more often prone on reminding that traffic analysis/correlation is not part of their threat model. The problem is that it is nowadays a definitely proven capability of adversaries.
I really can't help thinking this is a deliberate desire of keeping Tor at government's reach because the eternal argument they oppose do not stand. They say that randomized wait times at each relay would make the traffic too slow. But I remember using Tor 8 years ago when it took forever to load a Web page, and still did I use it in spite of this major extra effort, because anonymous surfing was such a blast. Today the network is fast enough to be able to swap 25% speed for a massive increase of anonymity.

I honestly can't see why they legitimately refuse to implement this. They seem to think that the need to observe both ends is too hard. Did they hear about the BGP routing attack that targeted Iceland? Funny how the Silk Road server was found a month later in... Oh shit, Iceland.
When you claim to protect activists with government money, you'd better not show dubious intentions if people trust are what you depend on. Because that's why Tor was opened at first. The government officials needed to hide among civilian traffic. They do need the people to run nodes.

Can you really not tell the difference between a real article and something made up/joke/propaganda? Please be a little more critical and back up for claims before slandering someones name. Even 5 minutes of research with google will demonstrate that you are the only source of ANY claims about Jeremy Scahills unethical journalism. You seem to have a screw loose.

just because you dont understand ethics doesnt mean they dont exist
being filmed with dead bodies is absolutely a breech of journalistic ethics

thanks alexis for your analysis of tor i heartily agree with your conclusion
look into a blow up of @emptywheel had regarding her protections of @pierre when the whole ukranian thing was revealed she has to do a lot of dancing to dodge the bullets coming her way ...

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!"

Speaking about facts checking: intrigued by these allegations I looked up wiki on Omydiar, and his network association is said to have partnered with the CIA, which is not generally all about "philanthropy", although this claim lack any reference.
Would someone know why is the Agency mentioned there?
Aside from that, financed projects include "mobile intelligence" for prospectors and deploying banks onto mobile phones to make sure everyone even in Africa pays his fees to the landlords. They even dare to say it's cheaper than cash. I wonder how that is.
Anyway... Wild allegations are very entertaining, but seriously what's the real meaning of this about Tor? Because no technical evidence suggest it is "backdoored" (whatever that would mean, this is a trendy word, makes the one who says it sound so l33t in journalism circles).
On the other hand, Tor devs are more and more often prone on reminding that traffic analysis/correlation is not part of their threat model. The problem is that it is nowadays a definitely proven capability of adversaries.
I really can't help thinking this is a deliberate desire of keeping Tor at government's reach because the eternal argument they oppose do not stand. They say that randomized wait times at each relay would make the traffic too slow. But I remember using Tor 8 years ago when it took forever to load a Web page, and still did I use it in spite of this major extra effort, because anonymous surfing was such a blast. Today the network is fast enough to be able to swap 25% speed for a massive increase of anonymity. The other solution, randomized length of packets with dummy padding discarded at each relay would impact even less on responsiveness.

OK... How about a dying gutshot US Marine in Afghanistan photographed by an AP reporter? http://razedbywolves.blogspot.com/2010/05/crosspost-sanitizing-war-what-woul... AP made the right call, and it took a FEMALE PHOTOJOURNALIST to push them despite fanaticism on the part of people who don't want us to know soldiers die in GRUESOME WAYS EVEN IN WORTHLESS WARS, threats, and yes claims of unethical behavior...

being an activist journalist makes part of my job to be critical of journalism and therefor maybe i am in a different position than you - if you are okay posing with corpses then i will call you out as well but as your identity is hidden here.... soooooo... that wouldnt be so easy would it...
it is your idea that there is nothing unethical but that doesnt mean that there is nothing unethical about it and that standards are not breeched by jeremy doing it and your post has not proven otherwise in any way
