The U.S. Keeps Killing Venezuelans on Boats. Is That Legal?
The U.S. military has blown up three boats in the Caribbean Sea in the past three weeks, killing 17 people aboard.

Charlie Savage, who covers national security for The New York Times, tells us what he has learned about what may be the true objective behind these airstrikes and whether any of this is even legal.
