Jeremy Scahill:
Kabul, Afghanistan, four in the morning. As an American jounalist I was used to finding stories in the middle of the night. But there is always something eerie, driving through the deserted streets.

In Iraq the U S had fundamentally changed
00:00:26.058 --> 00:00:27.424
the way it fought war
