And even if you're right, the punishment for drug smuggling isn't death.
Rand Paul: "This is an insane policy. It's inconsistent. It's not war. It's not the way we've ever done this. If we can blow up a boat in the ocean, what about when they get to Miami & put it in a truck? Can you shoot a grenade launcher at the truck? No! We arrest people b/c sometimes we're wrong."

Rapid Support Forces carried out three drone strikes in the town of Kalogi, in South Kordofan, officials say. The paramilitary reportedly struck a kindergarten school twice, the second time to kill civilians who had gathered to aid the wounded, and then struck the hospital treating the victims.
