Episode Details

U.S. military strikes in the Caribbean and Pacific targeting drug boats have now killed at least 199 people, including survivors hit by follow-up attacks — a grim pattern that’s sparked legal and ethical controversy. Since September, at least 22 survivors have died in subsequent strikes, with three confirmed to have survived two hits each. While the Pentagon says it notifies the Coast Guard of survivors, reports often go to nearby countries. Legal experts warn some actions may violate international armed conflict laws, and now the Pentagon’s watchdog is reviewing targeting procedures — not legality. Only three survivors have been rescued so far, two sent back to Ecuador and Colombia, another handed over to Costa Rica.
