His name was Chad Joseph, 26 years old, a young fisherman from Trinidad and Tobago. Not a drug lord, not a terrorist, not a soldier. He just wanted to go home - a short boat ride from the Venezuelan coast back to Las Cuevas, the small village where he had grown up. But Chad Joseph never arrived. He was one of six men killed in a U.S. military strike on a \u201csuspected drug vessel.\u201d His mother, Lenore Burnley, last heard from him a week ago on the phone. \u201cHe said he would be back soon. Just a few hours of travel.\u201d Since then: silence. No signal, no sign of life. When she learned of his death on Thursday, she broke down. \u201cI don\u2019t want to believe that this is my child,\u201d she said. \u201cIs this really true?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have now gathered 18 of the 27 names. We will bring each of these cases before the Inter-American Court of Human Rights in San Jos\u00e9, Costa Rica. Someone must take responsibility - and if everyone else just watches, then with the limited means available to us we will try to ensure that these dead do not remain unseen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The U.S. Army has destroyed five boats in recent weeks, allegedly because they were transporting drugs toward the United States. 27 people are dead. Not one has been identified. No photos, no names, no evidence. Only official phrases - \u201cnarco-terrorist targets,\u201d \u201cpreventive self-defense\u201d - with which the White House justifies the deaths of unknown men. The relatives of Chad Joseph say he was on one of the boats - together with his neighbor Samaroo, also from Trinidad, also missing. An anonymous U.S. Navy report later confirmed that \u201ctwo men from Trinidad and Tobago\u201d were killed in a \u201cdeadly dawn operation\u201d on Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
