Oct 17 (Reuters) - The U.S. military is holding two survivors aboard a Navy ship after rescuing them from a suspected drug vessel in the Caribbean hit by a U.S. strike that killed two others, three sources familiar with the matter told Reuters on Friday.
The disclosure, which has not been previously reported, raises the possibility that the survivors from Thursday's strike are the first prisoners of war in a conflict declared by President Donald Trump against a "narcoterrorist" threat he says is emanating from Venezuela.

I'd be surprised if we heard anything from these "prisoners" ever again.

[Bluestocking]

1. The US is going to have its own Nuremberg trials in 2029

[LonePirate]

10. The next Dem president needs to fully cooperate with the world court and extradite these criminals.

[3Hotdogs]

20. We do not subscribe to the World Court.

That's why Bush is still walking around.

[Klarkashton]

2. There was already a report a couple of days ago about

One of the sailors on that boat from their family.
Nothing to do with drugs


Heads are going to roll for not killing them all.

[3Hotdogs]

21. You're assuming the U.S. warship will make it to shore and not disappear into the Bermuda Triangle on its way back

to port.

Two birds - one stone. Survivors don't get to testify that they had nothing to do with drugs.

Venezuela gets declared an enemy nations and the fun can begin.

3. So, what will Trump do with his victims? Will he send them to Gitmo? Or will it be another attempted summary execution?

n/t

[Walleye]

4. It's a navy ship, hopefully they are getting some decent chow

They better be treating them according to the rules. Did they think there was drugs buried in that hold full of fish and nets? People fish for a living out there, this is wrong. Trump doesn’t eat fish

[Mossfern]

19. Figures

Isn't fish "brain food?"

[John1956PA]

5. The administration will swap them out for performance actors who will go on TV to confess they are drug smugglers.

[Irish_Dem]

8. Yep Trump has a call in to Hollywood central casting as we speak.

Or the survivors will be tortured in an ICE detention camp until they say
what the US Navy wants them to say.

[Buddyzbuddy]

14. Ding, ding, ding we have a winner. Exactly!

[twodogsbarking]

6. a suspected drug vessel

oh

[Bengus81]

7. Going to have those perfectly wrapped (and none the worse for wear) bricks of coke??

Just like they did a few weeks ago...........

[Irish_Dem]

9. Don Jr will donate some from his stash.

[erronis]

16. More likely he'll cry when he sees his shipment going up in smoke.

[Irish_Dem]

18. Trump will keep bombing boats until the cartels give Don Jr free shipments.

[CanonRay]

11. Prisoners of what war?

[Baitball Blogger]

12. Poor souls,

Out of the frying pan and into the fire.

[GB_RN]

13. Let Me Get This Straight...

So, not only is the Navy now in the business of performing extrajudicial, summary executions by order of Cantaloupe Caligula the Corpulent, it’s also now, basically kidnapping people on the high seas? What are they going to do, render them to a CIA Black Site or Guantanamo Bay?

Goddamn. The atrocities committed in Caligula’s name. We ever get control of the government back in the hands of sane people, and criminals like Caligula himself, and Reichsminister for Propaganda, Herr Stephen Miller, et al., need to be sent to The Hague.

[erronis]

17. Of course W and other prior administrations have laid the groundwork for this type of shit.

[JoseBalow]

15. "suspected drug vessel" - Did I hear drumpf say it was a submarine?

[Marcuse]

22. "Target neutralized"

[2naSalit]

23. And...

They'll be 'disappeared' real soon.

[republianmushroom]

24. Holding (?), Is there evidences that there was drugs on the ship.
