Ecuadorean fishermen reported drone attacks in the Pacific by English-speaking operators in US uniforms. Eight missing from one boat, survivors from two others interrogated and handed to El Salvador's navy. Pentagon denies involvement. But New York Times flight data shows a patrol plane repeatedly shifting course to track all three vessels in the days before attacks. That aircraft isn't on Pentagon records, just registered to a UPS store mailbox in Virginia. Who actually carried this out stays conveniently murky. But timing is brutal: this happened as the Pentagon ramped up its Latin America drug war cooperation with allied militaries. So "American dominance in the hemisphere" apparently includes killing fishermen, lying about it, and letting the paperwork vanish.
