US lawmakers split along party lines after viewing Caribbean strike video

Admiral Frank Bradley, who was the head of the Joint Special Operations Command at the time, and top US General Dan Caine on Thursday briefed lawmakers on the operation and showed an unedited video of the follow-on strike.

"You have two individuals in clear distress, without any means of locomotion, with a destroyed vessel, who were killed by the United States," Representative Jim Himes of Connecticut, the top Democrat on the house intelligence committee, told reporters after the briefing.
