He should call his Congressman.

If you're arguing about the pretext, you are already losing. It doesn't matter what they were doing in the boats, it's still wrong to kill them.

Even if they had been transporting drugs, does that make extrajudicial killing something other than murder?

We have ALL known this. It's good that Senator Kaine is finally taking some official action. It's reminiscent of Queen Amidala's line from _The Phantom Menace_. ("I was not elected to watch my people suffer and die while you discuss this invasion in a committee!")

Hey Tim, it's illegal and outrageous even if they WERE involved in drug trafficking. The extrajudicial execution of foreign nationals in international waters is a CRIME.

All of them were killed on international water. That means that the USA is a terrorist country. Killing unidentified civilians on international water is terrorism.

In overseas conflicts involving since WW2 a total estimate of civilians killed in these conflict is 2.6 million. In comparison total overall firearm deaths in the US since 1968 exceed 1.5 million. America is a country of violent death.

Haven't we seen and heard a fair amount of evidence already? I didn't see what's new in that article (other than Tim Kaine waking up) www.aclu.org/press-releas...

That's not a fucking "suggestion", Jesus Christ, CNN used to have editors.

Yes regardless of whether anyone in these boats was trafficking drugs, the individuals killed have been murdered by United States Military personnel on the orders of their superior officers and the Trump regime. It would be nice to think a long stay at The Hague awaits everyone in that chain.

So Mass murder By The department of war crimes

The Hague awaits

They are murder victims if they are drug traffickers or not. 1. That's not the punishment for drug trafficking. 2. You don't jump to the punishment without a court, trial, evidence, etc. Every single boat struck is a murder victim. Prosecute accordingly.

WE ARE MURDERERS.

noooo Really?!? Wow, can't believe the trump team would just murder people like that

Fork found in kitchen

Trump and Hegseth are war criminals. #TrumpNurembergTrials

What about execution if the journalist, and her sister who was investigating this?

yeah no shit

These people were on boats. That is maybe the only situation where you can arrest them with absolutely zero chance of them running away. There is absolutely no reason to bomb them. Just arrest the guys.

So it's murder

No shit Sherlock.

We are a terrorist nation folks, better get used to hearing it because the rest of the globe is pretty tired of our bullshit.

In short our Military has executed illegal orders and committed war crimes. They will be held accountable. Remember Nuremburg.

Tim, if they are murder victims, surely you will insist on prosecuting and punishing the murderers? Right? RIGHT?!?!?

*murdered innocent people

Of course they weren’t. They knew it and did it anyway. Prison time for all involved. They even warned about following illegal orders.

So why isn't the orange liar fascist in a jail?

These presumed narcotraffickers have been given death sentences without any judicial review, without trials.. without proof of guilt or innocence... just immediate death.

And the White House doesn't give a damn because Trump and Hegseth have their snuff films.

The world can see this but chooses to remain silent.

All of those people, traffickers or not, have been murdered. Murdered, by any law of war, peace, land, or sea.

The plan is to dismantle the International Criminal Court, problem solved (you're just not thinking American enough!)

Too bad the US people won't put a stop to it. Won't even try.

Even if they were running drugs, it doesn’t give the US the right to kill them. C’mon CNN!

It's either War Crimes, Piracy, or both. Plus it's still murder.

Yeah, we all know Trump's been murdering fishermen. It should be news that it's happening and not this namby-pamby "suggest" nonsense.

the´killing of people who *are* drug traffickers is illegal too, and in both cases it's called murder

Ted Bundy in his murder spree has likely illegally killed "individuals who did not watch YouTube in public spaces with the sound turned up"

Why should non Americans be assassinated for narcotrafficking by the US ever? This is a coked up Hegseth killing innocent people for target practice. Such a sick, sick country.

Even if they are guilty, the penalty isn't death and especially without due process. The name for this is murder.

The White House has some level of immunity now since it does not cooperate with the International Criminal Court. But in the long run that may not always prevent legal consequences for those conducting these extra legal killings.

Every member of the administration involved should get the same due process.

Everything is connected. Read this article about the executed Ecuadorian prosecutor, Alexandra Bravo, who was probing the U.S. boat bombings.

You mean to tell me the white supremacist in charge in the US is simply mass-murdering BIPOC sailors from South America and lying about what they were doing when they were murdered. A racist killing the people he harbors racial animus against then lying about it, who could've seen that coming?

Really? It seems only politicians don’t know this. Everyone outside the myopic political class knew this.

This guy is truely stupid! As an FYI - CNN hates our country.

Trump and Hegseth are war criminals. Don’t forget the little girls and their teachers in Iran.

JFC CNN. Do your job!

so you inserted “likely” for no reason is “bari” posting for you or is this just larry the ponzi fraudster’s scribe ?

American pets are eating Peruvian people? (Sorry, no, I get it. That’s an interesting point I didn’t know.)

It’s true.

MURDER on all MAGA voters hands. They put them in power. They own it.

There it is.

That's still murder of the extrajudicial variety

It's called DUE PROCESS. constitutional guarantee that the government must treat people fairly and follow established legal rules before taking away their life, liberty, or property. It is divided into procedural due process, substantive due process, and protections against vague laws.

If there were innocent people killed on those boats in international waters by the U.S. military, wouldn’t that be considered war crimes on behalf of the aforementioned parties?

Don’t think you really needed to see classified information to know it’s highly likely they’ve killed innocent people in those boat strikes

"I am shocked, shocked!..."

The worst part of all this is that he WILL never face a single consequence for any law he breaks ....
