Survivirs of military strike let go..a tacit admission that USA is just murdering boaters

A confession': Onlookers stunned by new Trump military move that 'makes no sense' - Raw Story

https://www.rawstory.com/trump-admin-confession-military-strike/

Donald Trump's administration on Saturday shocked observers with a decision not to arrest two suspected peddlers of fentanyl.

Trump over the weekend took the time to brag about a military strike, saying it was an "honor" while announcing that two were killed in the strike on a submarine. The New York Times also released a report focusing on the two survivors of the strike on the purported drug vessel, who were not arrested and were instead reportedly returned to their home countries.

It's that report that baffled political and international law experts.


Conservative attorney and anti-Trump activist George Conway said Saturday, "This is essentially a confession by administration that it committed murder."

Immigration policy expert Aaron Reichlin-Melnick chimed in: "So the people on these boats are 'terrorists' who can be killed without any due process, but if they don’t die in the initial strike, they just get released and go home with a warning?

...is those survivors telling their stories. Frankly, I'm surprised they didn't fall overboard or stand too close to a window somewhere. I hope those stories get told!
