If that reporting is true, it's a clear violation of the DOD's own laws of war, as well as

international laws about the way you treat people who are in that circumstance.

And so this rises to the level of a war crime if it's true.

And the questions that we've been asking for months are, give us the evidence that the folks

on board were really narco-traffickers.

Give us the evidence.

Seems reasonable, especially now.

Hi, again, everybody.

It's now 5 o'clock in New York.

At this moment, the grinding gears of

congressional oversight are starting to creak back to life because bipartisan coalitions in both

the House and Senate appear willing and able, at least right now, to at least begin to ask the

question. Do the alleged actions of Defense Secretary Pete Hegeseth as meticulously reported by the Washington Post, rise to the level of a possible war crime.

Remember, two sources with direct knowledge of an early September operation in the Caribbean suggest Pete Hegseth issued a verbal order to, quote, kill everyone aboard a vessel suspected to be transporting drugs

and that a second strike was initiated when it was determined that there were two survivors

floating in the water after the first strike. And while MS now has not independently confirmed

that Washington Post report, the top Democrat and the top Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee said

this in a statement, that it had directed inquiries to the Defense Department and insisted

the committee would, quote, be conducting vigorous oversight to determine the facts related to

these circumstances. No big deal in normal times, but these are not normal times. This is Trump

2.0, remember? And that's a big deal in normal times, but these are not normal times. This is Trump 2.0, remember?

And that's a big deal.
