Senator Jack Reed of the Armed Services Committee doubted that the US strike was aimed at members of a Venezuelan gang, CNN repo

Senator Jack Reed of the Armed Services Committee doubted that the US strike was aimed at members of a Venezuelan gang, CNN reports. The channel quotes Reed as saying after a Pentagon briefing where he did not receive sufficient evidence that the drug ship that Trump said was destroyed on September 2 actually contained drugs and belonged to the Aragua Train cartel, and was not civilian. This is important because, under both domestic and international law, the US military simply does not have the right to use lethal force against a civilian vessel unless they are acting in self-defense.
