Why Americans Should Care About Trump's Boat Strikes

On President Donald Trump's orders, the U.S. military last month began carrying out a series of strikes in the Caribbean, blowing up boats suspected of moving drugs and killing a total of at least 27 people so far. (Multiple news outlets reported that a strike yesterday was believed to be the first one to leave survivors.) Although Trump has called the dead "narcoterrorists," his administration has not provided good evidence to support that characterization.
