The Orlando Sentinel's banner front-page headline on Wednesday twisted an already over-credulous Associated Press dispatch from Caracas into a full-fledged scandal implicating the United States and Donald Trump in war crimes. “Venezuela calls deaths ‘war crime’” included a photo of a menacing Trump speaking at a GOP retreat. (The AP story has been updated since Wednesday morning’s print version appeared in the Sentinel -- the linked piece above now includes details about Venezuelan oil to the headline and at the front of the story.) The Sentinel, which is becoming notorious for its nasty banner stories, was one of the few if any newspapers, at least in America, that borrowed such harsh blame-America language in a banner headline. Regina Garcia Cano, Aamer Madhani and Megan Janetsky contributed to the AP story, which had more favorable facts deeper inside about what was a wildly successful extraction mission that the Sentinel could have worked into a more informative and balanced headline. CARACAS, Venezuela - At least 24 Venezuelan security officers were killed in the dead-of-night U.S. military operation to capture Nicolás Maduro and spirit him to the United States to face drug charges, officials said Tuesday. Venezuela's Attorney General Tarek William Saab said overall "dozens" of officials and civilians were killed in the strike and that prosecutors would investigate the deaths in what he described as a "war crime." He didn't specify if the estimate was specifically referring to Venezuelans. In addition to the Venezuelan security officials, Cuba's government on Sunday announced that 32 Cuban military and police officers working in Venezuela were killed in the raid. White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller on Monday said U.S. officials believe that the Cuban government, which provided Maduro with security protection in Caracas, was undercounting the death toll of its personnel. Some of the wording was unnecessarily fulsome to Maduro's security personnel. The U.S. has said some of the nearly 200 U.S. personnel who took part in the operation were injured, but none were killed. The Pentagon has not provided any details about the injuries despite multiple inquiries over several days. A video tribute to the slain Venezuelan security officials posted to the military's Instagram features faces of the fallen over black-and-white videos of soldiers, American aircraft flying over Caracas and armored vehicles destroyed by the blasts. "Their spilled blood does not cry out for vengeance, but for justice and strength," the military wrote in an Instagram post. "It reaffirms our unwavering oath not to rest until we rescue our legitimate President, completely dismantle the terrorist groups operating from abroad, and ensure that events such as these never again sully our sovereign soil." President Donald Trump on Tuesday pushed back against Democratic criticism of this weekend's military operation, noting that his Democratic predecessor President Joe Biden had also called for the arrest of the Venezuelan leader on drug trafficking charges. A few days earlier, Madhani penned a dispatch with this provocative title: "After Maduro capture, Trump’s tough talk evokes a return to the days of American imperialism."
