The Obama Administration has approved five times the number of covert drone strikes that George W. Bush did.

Thomson Reuters Digital Editor Chrystia Freeland sits down with Reuters’ Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist David Rohde to discuss his special report detailing the quiet expansion of presidential power under Obama. During their conversation David and Chrystia cover topics such as: the 3 american citizens executed abroad by the US government; the differences between CIA and US military drone strikes; the differences between the so called ‘personality’ and ‘signature’ strike; why it is a myth that drones are ‘light footprint’; the absurd covert/overt relationship between the United States and Pakistan.
