Lawmaker Demands Release of Video Showing Second U.S. Strike on Boat
U.S. Representative Chrissy Houlahan is calling for the public release of a classified military video. The footage shows a second American strike on a boat suspected of drug smuggling. Lawmakers viewed the video in a private briefing on Thursday. It relates to a September 2 incident where U.S. forces targeted a vessel in the Pacific Ocean. Houlahan, a Democrat from Pennsylvania, argues the video should be made public. She discussed her position in an interview for "The Takeout" podcast. The incident involves a follow-up strike, which occurred after an initial engagement. The boat was suspected of transporting illegal narcotics.
