    We don't need the expense of incarcerating them here. I rather doubt they'll be engaging in future voyages.

      I have no idea but was charitably granting that their stated reason is the actual reason. I can’t be sure though. There seems to be more going on between the US and Venezuela than meets the eye, hence the thread.

      I think a government can act on intelligence in international drug trafficking matters, that they don't want to process through domestic courts of law, when there's little to nothing to be gained by doing so.

      Education is extremely important.

        The theory, which has no intelligent detractors, is that the administration’s position that anyone in these boats is an ‘unlawful combatant’, would not survive contact with a court of law.

        I don't think survival is the point, amirite

        Honestly I'm still surprised Trump didn't win the Nobel Peace Prize.
