Episode Synopsis

The United States faces mounting accusations of extrajudicial killings after launching lethal airstrikes on suspected drug-trafficking vessels in the waters of the Caribbean and East Pacific Ocean. A follow-up strike on survivors from a disabled boat on September the 2nd has sparked particular outrage, with legal experts and the U-N saying the attacks violate international law, and the Pentagon’s own rules against targeting the shipwrecked.
