In coverage that is becoming a signature of TomDispatch, Nick Turse follows the U.S. military ever deeper into Africa (the first of two back-to-back pieces on Africa-creep at TD this week). This one is kind of amazing. Turse joined a “webinar” run for top Defense Department engineering contractors whose focus was the U.S. military on that continent. He was the only reporter and so got to hear what AFRICOM spokespeople say when they’re speaking bluntly to other insiders about what they call “war” in Africa, but never to reporters in public. As a result, he offers quite a look at American military realities on that continent. It’s a picture you won’t find anywhere else! Tom tomdispatch/blog/175830/
