Dirty Wars won the Cinematography Award for U.S. Documentary at the Sundance Film Festival 2013 and, recently, the Grand Jury Prize at the Boston Independent Film Festival. Variety calls it “jaw-dropping … [with] the power to pry open government lockboxes.” The Sundance jury said it is “one of the most stunning looking documentaries [we've] ever seen.” I agree.

One of the stories told in the film and the book of Dirty Wars is the story of the destruction of al Majala. On December 17, 2009, U.S. Tomahawk missiles and incendiary cluster bombs rained down on the tiny Yemeni village of al Majala, killing 21 children, 14 women, and 6 men, and burning all the homes and their contents. The government of Yemen falsely claimed responsibility. Yemeni journalist Abdulelah Haider Shaye disproved that claim.

Shaye reported on the carnage, including photographing missile parts labeled “Made in the United States.” He reported on subsequent U.S. strikes in Yemen, working with the Washington Post, ABC News, Al Jazeera, and other outlets.

Shaye is in prison in Yemen for the crime of journalism, at the insistence of President Obama.

On February 2, 2011, Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh, under public pressure, had drawn up, printed out, and was prepared to sign a pardon of Shaye. But Saleh received a phone call from President Barack Obama, who opposed release of the journalist. Saleh ripped up the pardon.

The term "war on terror" is bullsh1t, u can only attempt challenge ideas and philosophies. The more scientifically literate critical thinkers we produce in the world the less likely there will be people who believe in prophets = less people joining the Taliban.


but too much blood has been shed to probably do that at this point.


The kids are the future though, teach them to be rational and evidence based rather than faith based so we can prevent stupid wars like this (this is to both Americans and middle east)


lemme know when a link to the film drops

Stop attacking our ships and this won't happen. I didn't watch the vid but collateral damage happens. Especially the way we define "enemy combatant" or whatever we call it. America hasn't cared in a long time we're going to retaliate. im not saying I agree with our policies, but stop harboring terrorists.

There's no reason why rational adults from other countries should be killing eachother when it's allegedly illegal to do the same to a citizen of whatever country your from.


Mankind's hypocrisy makes me sick. :stopitslime:




Wars are for primitive minds (unless their fought against capitalism, shouts out to Che and Castro....Greedy Capitalist can eat a d1ck) if u don't like the n1ggas who run the country just put some poison in their tea and replace them.

I agree we should evolve past war. I agree war is terrible and I don't condone a lot of Americas policies. But when we park our ship in yemens bay don't expect the US to not retaliate when they try and blow it up and harbor terrorists. This movie is what happens. And maybe its a self fulfilling prophecy but its going to end in blood.
