What happened on September 2? Over the weekend, top Democrats called for the release of classified materials pertaining to the U.S. military's September 2 boat attack.
"Democrats and Republicans have offered starkly different descriptions of the video, which was seen by some members of Congress but has not been made public," reports The New York Times. "Representative Adam Smith of Washington, the top Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee, said it was 'simply not accurate' that the video of the Sept. 2 strike on the boat carrying 11 individuals showed the survivors trying to flip a capsized boat, rescue its cargo and continue trafficking drugs, as Republicans in Congress have maintained." That boat strike in particular was controversial because, when members of the U.S. military detected survivors, they struck again to ensure they killed everyone in sight.
