middle of two thousand and twelve and i discuss this more i'm joined by investigative journalist chris woods who has been involved in carrying out some of the leading investigations into cia drone strikes in recent years and is currently writing a book on the u.s. covert drone war chris thanks so much for joining me. i think a lot of people would be shocked if if this tactic is actually going on which makes me wonder what's the usefulness in double tap drone strikes and is it just about terrorizing the enemy at this point. my guess i mean i've been looking at these double tap strikes for a couple of years now they are definitely happening i have no doubt that at school working with the bureau of investigative journalism are carried out to major field investigations in pakistan illness i phone off coming back absolutely clear that these double tap strikes are happening this deliberate targeting of rescuers on the scene of a previous strike why are they doing it i think policy to ensure that the original intended targets are killed and going back and making sure that anyone in addition is draw

tell that to the family members tyrone woods and glen doherty and chris stevens who still no doubt want answers to what happened. it raises questions about politics as well, byron. there is no doubt in my mind when we get into the heat of the political season, republicans and folks on the other side of the aisle from hillary clinton will pull the sound bite of her at that the hearing what difference does it make why it happened at this point, what difference does it make? it almost feel as though the link of evidence there, john kerry says i came into office. i performed my own exhaustive review what happened. these people did nothing wrong. done, over, tie a bow on it, this thing is finished. >> republicans will want to ask secretary kerry, what did you find out in your review that this high level administrative review board missed in their review? does that tell us we don't have the whole story? remember one thing, kind of sounds like a broken record, we still have not heard publicly, congress has not heard from anybody who was on the ground in benghazi that night. there were 30 peopl
