President Donald Trump has ordered the killing of 64 people through "lethal kinetic strikes," with three more deaths reported on November 1, after another boat carrying alleged "narcoterrorists" was destroyed in the Caribbean.
The president has stated that those killed in strikes trafficked fentanyl, backed up by his dubious assertion that every boat taken out saves "25,000 American lives." As covered by Reason's Jacob Sullum, this claim conflates fentanyl with cocaine and other drugs from Latin America.
