US Navy warship holding survivors from strike on Caribbean vessel, sources say
Source: Reuters
Oct 17 (Reuters) - The U.S. military is holding two survivors aboard a Navy ship after rescuing them from a suspected drug vessel in the Caribbean hit by a U.S. strike that killed two others, three sources familiar with the matter told Reuters on Friday.
The disclosure, which has not been previously reported, raises the possibility that the survivors from Thursday's strike are the first prisoners of war in a conflict declared by President Donald Trump against a "narcoterrorist" threat he says is emanating from Venezuela.

I'd be surprised if we heard anything from these "prisoners" ever again.

Two birds - one stone. Survivors don't get to testify that they had nothing to do with drugs.
Venezuela gets declared an enemy nations and the fun can begin.

Isn't fish "brain food?"

(3,470 posts)So, not only is the Navy now in the business of performing extrajudicial, summary executions by order of Cantaloupe Caligula the Corpulent, its also now, basically kidnapping people on the high seas? What are they going to do, render them to a CIA Black Site or Guantanamo Bay?
Goddamn. The atrocities committed in Caligulas name. We ever get control of the government back in the hands of sane people, and criminals like Caligula himself, and Reichsminister for Propaganda, Herr Stephen Miller, et al., need to be sent to The Hague.
