After tense classified briefings with the admiral who oversaw Sept. 2 strikes on suspected drug smugglers on a boat in the Caribbean Sea, Democrats pressed the Pentagon on Thursday to release the full video so the public could determine whether two survivors were unlawfully killed in a second strike.
“Many questions would be answered if they released the video in total,” Sen. Jack Reed, the top Democrat on the Senate Armed Services Committee, told NOTUS, calling the footage “disturbing.”
“If they have nothing to be concerned about, then it would be almost automatic,” Reed added.
