US Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) is one of the most powerful organizations on the planet. It is also one of the most secretive ones. Reporter Jeremy Scahill (the man who uncovered the Blackwater story) tries to uncover their action spread around the globe from Afghanistan to Somalia and Yemen. JSOC operatives do not appear on any official list of US government employees and it is highly unlikely that they will ever be called to testify in front of any commission, let alone in a courtroom. Yet, these are the people that wield enormous power and are authorized to “find, fix, and finish” any target that is given to them, regardless of its status or location, even the US citizens. Dirty Wars is a story about them.
