What proof did "they" have that could stop this boat and have it searched legally once it was in US waters? If so, why not use that power in a right and legal manner? We all know why, no headline banners with the name of the most corrupt human outside of direct dictatorship countries in the universe. (My apologies to all other planets as I have no accurate info on your form of government.)
