I reread the article and it doesn’t mention “narco-terrorists.” It’s about calling them combatants. Although I misremembered when I said “enemy combatants.” It’s “unlawful combatants.”
So the article is about that, as well as about what you’re even allowed to do or say about people who are clinging to flotsam and jetsam after a shipwreck.
I think calling them “narco-terrorists” wouldn’t give the military enough legal reason to murder those people as they had been illegally ordered to do.
Ah I got the phrase from their video interviews not the article. I should have been clearer.

Oh naturally. I just think they’re using that terminology deliberately to remove the “murder” issue versus “war crime” which is easier to sweep under the rug.
They’re being very specific with the language, calling them “narco-terrorists”.
