This first boat had 11 people, which is why people from the beginning thought this probably wasn't really a drug boat.

It's probably a human boat.

you know, smuggling boat, which means some of the people in there were people wanted to come to the U S where, where had paid, I suppose these traffickers to bring them or somewhere else or something.

Yeah.

And just got killed.

And so it's even in a weird way, the, the, the stupid cartoon thing seems to suggest confirmation for the notion that this first boat was not even, even if you think it's okay to blow them up, which it isn't without any evidence and knowing who they are, these people really, really, really weren't okay to, uh,

to kill.

So anyway, it's horrifying.

They're not going to apologize.

I don't know internally that they'll be held accountable.

The whole JAG system has been gutted, this Justice Department.

The degree to which we've depended on a Justice Department being willing, maybe sometimes a little cautious with its own administration, but willing to actually enforce law against people in the government.

I mean, if that stops happening...

What's left?

I mean, who enforces the law?

The president doesn't insist on it.

The JAGs, the DOD seems to have been gutted in terms of its internal checks and balances.

Justice Department's not going to do anything.

It's really a very bad, this is when you come back to Congress, courts can do a little, you come back to Congress and this has in other areas.

Now here we do have a little bit of congressional action, right?
