Just another anti-American diatribe. Do you really expect that a Taliban or Al Qaeda member is going to admit it on camera to a western journalist who is obviously sympathetic to their cause? In the first scenario, wherein the Afghani police chief is killed...which Mr. Scahill says proves they were innocent...he was a police chief for goodness sakes. I guess Mr. Scahill has missed all the occasions in the news where members of the Afghan National Police have murdered either other legitimate police or ISAF personnel. Also, when interviewing the Yemeni sheik the filmmaker claims that three years before the interview (2011) there were no Al Qaeda in Yemen. Doesn't jive with the very well respected Pakistani journalist Ahmed Rashid, who in his book 'Taliban' (considered to be the best book on the subject) claims that Al Qaeda was in Yemen in the years just prior to 9/11. But hey...he does state his film is a blend of fact and 'fiction'.
