Because again, by definition, an object by its use makes an effective contribution to military action.

And so, it was kind of implied by the way that the Washington Post reported it that the commander believed that they could radio for assistance and have someone come and get the cargo and continue with the mission.

But with going on record now, establishing on the record that, yes, there was in fact a radio transmission that was intercepted, then that basically supports the conclusion that that's exactly what the commander believed at the time.

And the commander ordered subsequent strikes to destroy the boat because it wasn't destroyed to begin with.

Exactly.

Yeah, and so this is the danger with running with completely speculative reporting.

And initial reports are almost always—and this is something we know in the military for operationally, we just take it as a given—initial reports are almost always, if not wrong, they're at least—

incomplete enough that you don't have enough information to make kind of really meaningful conclusions.

We still need to gather information.

We still need to figure out exactly what happened.

And so the responsible thing, if the Washington Post wanted to report based on the sources that they have,

I mean, that's a journalistic decision in-house, and I know that there are checks in place to decide whether we're going to run a story based on completely anonymous sources.

So that's one thing to run this story.

There is news value and public interest in it, and I get it.

But we need to exercise caution when all we're dealing with is speculative reports from anonymous sources that we're not really sure, like they're filling in, they're providing some evidence of what happened, but they're not really filling in the gaps.

And before we can make conclusions and denounce everybody involved as a war criminal, I mean, this is, if they're wrong about this, if they're wrong about the allegations, this is defamation, right?

So before we-

Right.

So before we jump to conclusions like this, it's I mean, it's just it makes logical sense to gather the information and figure out, you know, if if it came to light that the commander involved or the secretary of war for this case, you know, saw that the boat was completely destroyed and there was no military utility in attacking the boat anyways.

And there's just two survivors clinging around to wreckage floating around in the Caribbean Ocean.
