Compare Michael Hastings' tone and body language on interview Jan 12, 2012 vs May 25, 2013 (less than a month before he died).

2012 Michael Hastings: "Obama has tripled the conflict in Afghanistan" https://hooktube.com/watch?v=ryklDHTZzyw at 9:13 subject turns to the state of the MSM. (Seems to me that's a big part of the story that Hastings missed/or underestimated.)

2013 Michael Hastings Rips Obama Drone Speech https://hooktube.com/watch?v=FcE2dxa5ZKc (you can jump in at 3:00 for body language at the beginning as Kiron Skinner talks),

Was there clown laughter in the background right when the host said 3:12 "...where CIA is involved more in espionage--" laughter? "--than drone attacks and all of this.." Very odd when you think about it.

Hastings starts talking at 5:44

at 7:03 Hastings says "...he, (Obama) enshrines targeted assassination.."

"...he enshrines killing people and spying on journalists as the two tenets of his national security state.."

A few days prior (May 22, 2013) it was reported that four Americans had died as a result of Obama drone strike program. NYT ran a piece Obama, in a Shift, to Limit Targets of Drone Strikes

WASHINGTON — President Obama plans to open a new phase in the nation’s long struggle with terrorism on Thursday by restricting the use of unmanned drone strikes that have been at the heart of his national security strategy and shifting control of them away from the C.I.A. to the military.

On HuffPo The link to the video from May 25, 2013 is gone but the link to Obama's speech transcript still works just fine.
