The Central Intelligence Agency is providing the bulk of the intelligence used to carry out the controversial lethal air strikes by the Trump administration against small, fast-going boats in the Caribbean Sea suspected of carrying drugs from Venezuela, according to three sources familiar with the operations.
Experts say the agency’s central role means much of the evidence used to select which alleged smugglers to kill on the open sea will almost certainly remain secret.
Information the agency gathers against any of the alleged smugglers – dead or alive – is likely to remain classified and out of public view. That is in spite of the worldwide public interest and debate over the killing of civilians.
The agency’s intelligence, unlike information gathered by the DEA or the Coast Guard, which used to handle maritime interdiction operations against smugglers, is not designed as legal evidence.

TERRORISTS
Oh, so now Fuckface von Clownstick trusts the intelligence agencies? The opportunity for extrajudicial killings really clarifies the mind, ya know?
USA OUT OF THE GULF OF AMERICA!
A nice way to throw all the Caribbean in China’s arms.
china’s already demonstrated that they’re not going to help.
not because they don’t care, but because they like playing the long game and preserving the carribean’s current political posture will only hasten the US empire’s response at a time before they still have a chance at wining a conflict.
I’m not saying China will intervene there but when the time comes, all the countries that have a problem with the US will turn to China, not the US.
eventually yes and i’m convinced that it’s going to happen a generation or 2 after i’ve died. lol
Any chance China could move some assets into the international waters off the coast to stop this madness?
Seriously of all the bullshit, which there is a lot. This just seems insane. It’s straight up murder.
