Did you hear about the U.S. Coast Guard making its biggest drug bust in 20 years? The one on December 5, when it seized 20,000 pounds of cocaine valued at $148 million from a speedboat in the eastern Pacific?
Probably not.
However big that bust may have been, the crew was only arrested, not killed. And it was not accompanied by dramatic aerial video of a targeted, what court papers call, “go-fast vehicle (GFV)” speeding across the sea, and then suddenly obliterated in a fiery flash, as in 22 strikes in which the Department of War has killed 86 since September 2. That body count includes two who survived an initial strike but died in a “double tap.”
