Additional insight into the White House’s scheming emerged in late October, when The Intercept published a series of stories on Obama’s mass-murder programs, based largely on leaked documents, under the title “Drone Papers.” One of the articles zeroed in on a semi-secret drone base in the nation of Djibouti dubbed Chabelley Airfield. “This base is now very important because it’s a major hub for most drone operations in northwest Africa,” GlobalSecurity.org senior fellow Tim Brown, an expert on analyzing satellite imagery, was quoted as saying by The Intercept.
