Episode notes
Second Strike Likely War Crime
- The Post reported two survivors were seen alive after a US strike and then a second strike killed them, which likely constitutes a war crime.
- Jennifer Rubin and Greg Sargent argue this appears to violate the laws of war and possibly domestic murder statutes.
No Quarter Is A Criminal Order
- Rubin notes "no quarter" is an illegal order and may itself be a criminal directive.
- She explains if we're not in an armed conflict, unjustified killings could be treated as murder under military and civilian law.
Administration Distances Hegseth
- Levitt's statement both confirms the strike and distances Hegseth from ordering the fatal follow-up strike.
- Rubin says that framing leaves Admiral Bradley as the one who executed an illegal order and thus legally exposed.
