If the Sep. 2 boat really had "narco-terrorists" on board, questioning the survivors would have been a way to learn about how the organization worked, where more drugs were stashed, etc. But this isn't a counter-terrorism campaign. It's a shooting gallery with helpless targets.

Bezos gutted WaPo's editorial board, installed a Trump-friendly stooge, and now they're lecturing Dems not to fight back against GOP gerrymandering. Nothing says 'defending democracy' like letting it die on principle. #WashingtonPost #Bezos #Gerrymandering #MediaBias wapo.st/49k5YpE
