Isn’t it the State Department’s job to make America look good? Wait, Barack Obama is president, never mind.

Via CNS News:

The U.S. Embassy in Canberra is offering free tickets to a screening of a new documentary about covert U.S. counter-terrorism operations, including targeted killings carried out under the Obama administration.

The Canberra International Film Festival (CIFF) has scheduled a screening on Sunday of “Dirty Wars,” an award-winning expose by The Nation national security correspondent Jeremy Scahill of clandestine U.S. intelligence and Joint Special Operations Command activity abroad.

On its Twitter account, the U.S. Embassy in the Australian capital posted a message late Tuesday saying, “Would you like FREE tickets to Blackfish or Dirty Wars at the @CIFF_Canberra this weekend? Get in touch!”

(“Blackfish” is an unrelated documentary showing at the festival, about an Orca whale. In separate messages the embassy also offered tickets to screenings of several other films, including one about former President Richard Nixon, which the embassy is sponsoring.)

“Dirty Wars” is described in the festival publicity material as an investigation which “uncovers an officially sanctioned, black-ops, assassination squad.”
