The Obama administration’s foreign bill of goods is a massive covert op that goes far beyond drone strikes. “We know everything about the bin Laden raid. We even know that there was a dog named Cairo and that he was a Belgian Malinois,” says Nation correspondent Jeremy Scahill. And yet “there were 20,000 raids like that that year in Afghanistan and other countries that we know almost nothing about.” Scahill joins Morning Joe to discuss the administration’s secret crusade and his new book, Dirty Wars.
