“The U.S. use of drones in the ‘war on terror’ includes what is called a ‘double tap,’ meaning sending a second drone to the same area, in what amounts to targeting rescuers who are responding to the first attack. This isn’t new, not the action nor the reporting. What does it tell us, that ‘double tapping’ continues, about the decisions of the Obama administration, and the reactions, or lack thereof, from the U.S. public? Michael Kelly’s conclusion that the fact that double tapping ‘is now normalized as a common tactic of the U.S. drone war is stunning’ seems accurate to me. But I’m also not stunned that more people aren’t stunned by this ‘normalcy.'”
