I'm inclined to think that the legal advice was good. We don't destroy these craft without detailed information on their nature and the identity of the crew. I believe they are engaging in the moral equivalent of piracy. During the Gulf War the navy simply machine-gunned Iranians that thought they were attacking oil tankers at night, even though the war was technically against Iraq.
Thanks for the specific information about the incident that wasn't published to the public before. I thought that the second attack was appropriate like shooting drug dealer running from a cop. I didn't know that there was a 42 minute period between attacks and the second attack was approved after a consultation with Navy JAG. It wasn't a split decision action taken during the initial contact under pressure. Wouldn't the survivors have been a good source of intelligence after an interrogation? Forty-two minutes allows for questioning the purpose and utility of the second attack. I support the attacks but I'm not sure about the 2nd attack of this one.
You are welcome! I agree that this timeline raises additional questions that will likely be addressed during the upcoming congressional inquiries. Thanks for subscribing to US Border News!
