The USA decided long ago that this was fine. See Reagan, Bush Sr., Clinton, Bush Jr., Obama, Biden, and Trump. Thousands upon thousands of drone strikes, missiles, bombs, et al, at will, without regard. The CIA is black budget. None of us are aware of what they are doing, we only know some of what they did long ago, and that was horrifying. Most of congress is as oblivious as we are. These boat strikes are the least of it. The question to me is, why are they making this public?
