Why would President Obama want to keep a Yemeni journalist in prison? Well, reporter Jeremy Scahill explains it this way: “This is a man who was put in prison because he had the audacity to expose a U.S. cruise missile attack that killed three dozen women and children. And the United States had tried to cover it up. … That’s the side that the White House is on right now. Not on the side of press freedom around the world.” Scahill praises Shaye’s reporting: “I would put forward that Abdulelah Haider Shaye asked more critical questions of figures within the al-Qaeda organization in Yemen than a single member of the caviar correspondents association in the United States, those jokers who sit in the front row and pretend to play journalist on television.”
