Trump official faces 'serious legal jeopardy' after 'order to kill' leaks
Story by Lesley Abravanel • 16h

A Washington Post exclusive details how Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth gave an order on the first Caribbean boat strike, saying to leave no survivors.

"As two men clung to a stricken, burning ship targeted by SEAL Team 6, the Joint Special Operations commander followed the defense secretary’s order to leave no survivors," write Alex Horton and Ellen Nakashima.
 
"The longer the U.S. surveillance aircraftfollowed the boat, the more confident intelligence analysts watching from command centers became that the 11 people on board were ferrying drugs," they write.

U.S. military officials have confirmed in private briefings to lawmakers that there was cocaine on the boats targeted in recent strikes, but nofentanyl, despite saying these attacks are part of a war on the deadly drug.

The Trump administration has not publicly released direct evidence to support its claims about the specific drugs on board the vessels it targeted in a series of lethal strikes since September.

By means of shrewd lies, unremittingly repeated, it is possible to make people believe that heaven is hell - and hell heaven. The greater the lie, the more readily it will be believed.

The receptivity of the masses is very limited, their intelligence is small, but their power of forgetting is enormous. In consequence of these facts, all effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and must harp on these in slogans until the last member of the public understands what you want him to understand by your slogan.

Who were the "officials?"  Adam Schiff?  Jasmine Crockett?  Maxine Waters?  Elissa Slotkin?

"Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave a spoken directive, according to two people with direct knowledge of the operation," they write.

“The order was to kill everybody,” one of those people told the Post.

Ought to be easy to finds those two leakers then.  Probably a couple of disgruntled military officers in SOCOM.

Here's the original story:

Hegseth order on first Caribbean boat strike, officials say: Kill them all
