Question

Accepted Answer

Senator Mark Warner said he was worried about putting American sailors "in harm's way by violating international law." He declared that neither he, a member of the Gang of Eight, nor the Senate Intelligence Committee were briefed ahead of the Sept. 2 operation. A bipartisan briefing scheduled for Sept. 5 was abruptly cancelled. Warner condemned the government's briefing procedures again on Oct. 29. When asked for comment, a White House spokesperson accused the Democratic Party of "running cover for foreign drug smugglers." Warner's concerns about international law violations were echoed by legal scholars and human rights groups.
