The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Did a federal judge approve the interdiction first? :whistle:

"The U.S. Coast Guard intercepted and destroyed a drug boat during Operation Pacific Viper, seizing nearly 13,000 pounds of cocaine and detaining seven suspected smugglers."

Once they "seize" this stuff, what happens to it?

My alternative proposal:
a. Destroy the contraband on-the-spot. Burn it, sink it, make it disappear. Take pics and video.
b. The "seven smugglers"? Take their pics, find out what cartel they were working for.
c. Release them (yes, you read that right) back to Mexico, Venezuela, wherever they came from.
d. Now send a message to the cartel bosses to wit, "look how good a job these flunkies did for you -- they lost both your shipment and your ship".
e. After doing that, I have a prediction these guys won't be around very long...

Along with a statement like "We have decided to not arrest these 7 men, due to the extensive co-operation they have given us"

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
