castro love

also, when democracy now was reporting on the time castro basically put dozens of reporters in jail... scahill was completely un-challenging when he and goodman called cuban officials on the telephone for an interview.

he completely ignored questions of freedom of speech and human rights, and did not challenge the cuban officials on these questions. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.207.73.128 (talk) 04:12, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Date of Birth and college education?

Anybody know? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 163.238.9.98 (talk) 16:26, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No one even knows if Scahill is a pseudonym or not. Nothing about this person can be verified beyond what he and his associates provide. No background. No education. Nothing. His sources are always 'anonymous' and it has been suggested that many are linked to terrorist organizations. Much more research needs to be done on 'Jeremy Scahill.' —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.9.83.190 (talk) 09:12, 5 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Investigative reporters often rely heavily on anonymous sources, as it is often the only way to get sources to divulge certain information. To suggest terrorism connections is a logical absurdity, as being an iconoclastic investigative reporter who does, because of his job, interview terrorists, in no way makes him associated with a terrorist organization. I'm fairly certain Scahill isn't a pseudonym, mainly because that's what his former professor refers to him by. This MATC (Madison Area Technical College, Madison College for short) professor has been held by Scahill as the most influential in his educational career pushing him in his critical thinking and analytical skills. I've had multiple classes with this professor, who has spoken of her former student (Jeremy Scahill) on occasion when it relates to the class lecture or discussion. The only information linking Scahill to MATC is the link provided below, which shows him giving a lecture at his former college (which should be noted isn't a big or noteworthy school and isn't often to land guest lecturers of much stature, and wouldn't likely be selected by a guest lecturer to speak at unless they had some prior ties to the school).

I can say with confidence he was my MATC professor's student as my professor and Jeremy Scahill are listed as friends on Facebook (I verified the authenticity of both Facebook accounts) and keep in touch. However, I won't link to this professor's (Facebook) profile, nor mention their name out of respect for the wishes of the professor to remain unsearchable online out of privacy concerns (and been remarkably successful at it). That said, with the information I've already provided it would not be difficult for a competent individual to discover the professor's name and confirm what I've said.

I'm also fairly sure I remember my professor saying after graduating MATC he went on to graduate from the University of Wisconsin - Madison (but I'm not 100% positive, though it would make sense being both colleges are in the same city and that most MATC alumni go on to UW-Madison).

" ... His sources are always 'anonymous' and it has been suggested that many are linked to terrorist organizations. ... " 76.9.83.190, it has been suggested by whom? Are you channeling Glenn "I'm just askin' questions" Beck or just trying to slander Scahill here or both? Do you have any contributions to offer... at all?

Jeremy graduated from Wauwatosa East High School, class of 1992. He subsequently attended UW-Madison for at least 1 semester. I'm not sure where else he went to school after that. He was in my brother's high school class, and I also knew his younger brother, Tim. His name is definitely not a pseudonym. See this link for an interview with his Dad that confirms this info: http://www.indymedia.ie/article/84768. Also see http://www.blackwaterblogger.com/2007/09/katrina4.html and http://www.todaystmj4.com/features/seenontmj4/45604632.html to confirm these facts. Where on the page do we want to put this information?
