THE grief was written all over Barack Obama’s face.
It was April 23, 2015, when the US President approached the podium in the White House briefing room to deliver bad news.
“This morning, I want to express our grief and condolences to the families of two hostages,” he said.
“One American, Dr Warren Weinstein, and an Italian, Giovanni Lo Porto, who were tragically killed in a US counter-terrorism operation.”
The pair were killed three months earlier in a drone strike in Pakistan targeting al-Qaeda operatives. It was a rare admission of guilt over a drone program that has killed many more.
According to research by the London-based Bureau of Investigative Journalism, more than 7000 people have been killed during Mr Obama’s tenure by people controlling drones inside rooms far from any war zone.
