Episode notes
Strikes Targeted Vessels, Not Mercy Killings
- The September 2 drug-boat strikes targeted vessels and cargo designated as narco-terrorist threats, not an intent to murder survivors.
- Military officials and legal experts argue follow-up strikes on disabled boats can be lawful to eliminate ongoing threats.
Disabled Boats Still Count As Military Targets
- A disabled drug boat can remain a lawful military target if decision makers reasonably believe it could be reused or recovered.
- Military law experts say destroying the vessel and cargo is a valid objective under the laws of war.
Make Strikes Visible To Deter Cartels
- Use visible, lethal action against maritime drug-smuggling to deter cartel activity and reduce flows.
- Capture and publicly release strike footage to send a clear warning to traffickers.
