Independent journalist Jeremy Scahill notes that the war in Afghanistan is "hemorrhaging" into Pakistan. In his latest bombshell story on the private security contractor formerly known as Blackwater, published Monday at TheNation.com, Scahill details Blackwater's covert activities, which are unaccountable to Congress in way that even CIA activities are not. He joined Laura in the studio to talk about the way the war is creeping across borders and continues to involve unaccountable private contractors.

PepperSpray' s summer intern, Ericka Ward, produced our lead piece this week. "Solutions, Not Repression" looks at the street vendor's movement in El Salvador. "Free Trade" agreements require the Salvadorian government to crack down on street vendors selling so-called pirated music and software, creating a crisis for thousands of people in the informal sector. "Who's side are you on", the market vendors ask their government, "the big American corporations or your own people?" The answer comes with truncheons and boots. It is an amazing moment in world history, when global capital no longer has big economies to devour, and having worked its way down the food chain, turns now to licking up the poorest crumbs on the far-flung edges of empire. The vendors are fighting back and this piece is all about that. Salvador is interesting for another reason: The current American vice-president cut his teeth repressing the Salvadorian people back in the 1980s, and was famously quoted just before the death squads ramped up in Iraq as saying that since the US was doing poorly in establishing control over Iraq, they would have to exercise the "Salvadorian option." Only weeks later, Iraqi morgues were piled high with tortured, mangled bodies, and many more have been "disappeared." Looking at Salvador today gives one a glimpse of the Iraqi future wished for by the Bush/Cheney camp. Revolutionaries in Salvador have spoken about how they fear that all these NAFA/CAFTA/WTO type agreements bind the country so much that even if they are successful in bringing in a decent government, the new government will not be able to deliver on the promises of the revolution because of all the international agreements which bind the hands of any future government in the country.
