“President Trump and the Pentagon have now attacked and killed more than 70 people on the high seas in the Caribbean and the Pacific Ocean near South America. They justify these killings by claiming that the victims are engaged in violations of U.S. federal drug laws. But the fact is that Trump’s and the Pentagon’s claims are nothing more than informal accusations. In fact, their informal accusations don’t even amount to a formal accusation set forth in a grand-jury indictment. That’s because a grand jury cannot issue an indictment unless it sees evidence that establishes that there is ‘probable cause’ that the accused committed the crime. With Trump’s and the Pentagon’s informal accusation, no such burden of proof is required.” (11/13/25)
