Striking a civilian boat in international waters is appropriate when that boat is carrying contraband? Proof should have been obtained? Shouldn't that happen before we start killing people? "Engaged in terrorism?" The administration has called Democrats to be terrorists. Would open season on all of us be "appropriate" and the hell with probable cause, due process and international law?

But let's say you are right and what the administration is doing is legal and appropriate. Should it be, in your opinion?
