Kaine calls US boat strikes killings 'murder victims'
Original: Kaine says US boat strikes likely killed people 'not involved in narcotrafficking': 'Murder victims'
Senator Tim Kaine said US military strikes on boats allegedly carrying drugs likely killed people not involved in narcotics trafficking, calling them 'murder victims'. His comments sharpen criticism of the administration's maritime interdiction campaign in the Caribbean and Pacific, which has previously sparked legal and political debate over whether lethal force against suspected traffickers is justified.
Why now: A prominent senator is making a serious legal and moral accusation against ongoing US military anti-drug strikes, reigniting debate over their legality.
