>> its not hard to collect the evidence of drugs

Its also not hard to see the video of a fast boat with two to four huge 250HP outboard motors and the entire hull filled with huge light colored bales of something and conclude this is not a fishing boat and these are not fishermen who are transporting their catch for the day back to the port.



Perhaps, but even if it's evident that the boat itself is engaged in drug smuggling, that doesn't mean that the people on the boat deserve summary execution. They could be being coerced for instance.

Also, IIRC the first strike killed 11 people. Why would you need, or want, 11 people to crew a fast boat that's supposed to be clandestine. Is it possible that they were smuggling people instead of or in addition to drugs? In which case, maybe we just killed some migrants who wanted to get out of Venezuela.
