Throughout today's hearing, Anthony Fauci repeated the following script 111 times.

And yes, his refusal to testify is grounds for contempt.

As I am not bilingual, I found a translation of the music from Super Bowl.

Early reports had unity as the message. I did not get that when reading.

Please choose English for the music played at Super Bowl.

🚨: #BREAKING: Superintendent of the Chicago Police Department, Larry B. Snelling, set one of the few law-and-order tones we should hear.

Calling out anyone trying to block or attack federal agents. Federal agents are law enforcement and violence against them has real consequences.

"Let’s be crystal clear... you don’t like ICE? Fine.
You can protest. But boxing in officers & risking deadly force isn’t protest. It’s a crime."

That’s common-sense safety, not political theater.

Every police chief should push back against anarchy, not enable it. Stand for law and order.

That’s leadership. 🔥

Not "perfidy" & not a war crime. Even if everything reported in this @nytimes story by @charlie_savage et al were regarded as true, this STILL would not qualify as perfidy. Here's why.

By definition, the unknown aircraft that MAY have flown with no military markings in the vicinity of the targets of the very first drug boat strike would have to invite their confidence & lead them to believe they were obliged to accord protection pursuant to LOAC to that aircraft WITH THE INTENT TO BETRAY THAT CONFIDENCE. But don't just take my word for it. Check out the blue & green highlights of pic 1, which is a relevant excerpt from the DoD Law of War Manual on the topic of perfidy.

This means ppl in the suspected drug boat would have to see the plane, believe it does not belong to the military of their adversary, refrain from attacking the plane on that basis, and THAT PLANE would need to take advantage of that confidence ON PURPOSE by attacking the drug boat after inducing the people on it to refrain from attacking the plane.

That's a lot to demonstrate. The facts reported in the story never do establish the boat had the capacity or desire to attack the aircraft in question - so even if everything reported in the story were assumed to be true, this STILL wouldn't qualify as perfidy.

Now let's have a look at what LOAC standard is reported in the story from the military law "expert" consulted for the article. As we can see in pic 2, the reporters interviewed retired Maj Gen Steve Lepper - who misrepresents the actual perfidy standard...and the reporters are too ignorant to call him on it or prevent his misrepresentation from impacting the story.

According to the source, "If the aircraft flying above is not identifiable as a combatant aircraft, it should not be engaged in combatant activity." This is erroneous for at least 2 reasons.

First, there are no "combatants" to begin with. Although this media report is obviously skeptical of the determination that an armed conflict exists, the administration has determined that 🇺🇸 is in a noninternational armed conflict against drug cartels etc. By definition, there are no "combatants" in a NIAC - so this source referring to combatants is an immediate tell indicating his LOAC knowledge is deficient.

More importantly, though, he completely misstates the definition of perfidy in LOAC. Yes "shielding your identity" CAN be an element of perfidy, but it's nowhere near the ONLY element. Yet, Lepper stops there & claims that if the aircraft "is not identifiable as a combatant aircraft, it should not be engaged in combatant activity."

This is just one person's opinion - and not a particularly convincing one at that. It isn't even close to articulating or applying the definition of perfidy correctly, and yet the ENTIRE STORY is built around this misrepresentation.

Yes there are other sources & yes there are other points made in the article. But the entire premise hinges on Steve Lepper's characterization of perfidy...and he flat out gets it wrong on this occasion.

Here's the thing. I'm not personally acquainted with Steve Lepper, but I am familiar with his reputation. Essentially, he's regarded as fairly strong at military justice...but generally clueless when it comes to LOAC. And his commentary here is clearly consistent with that reputation.

Along with a fundamental misrepresentation of a central legal standard, yet again we've got an entire media story involving these boat strikes that is built purely on speculation & assumptions & unidentified sources. We have no clue how the plane in question was actually marked or whether this is the plane that actually attacked the guys in the boat or whether the intent was actually to betray their confidence by convincing them not to attack the aircraft then striking them anyway.

Basically, we know nothing - except Steve Lepper doesn't understand perfidy. And once again, we generally can't trust MSM when they report on topics involving LOAC compliance.

I hadn't heard of a war crime called "perfidy" until this new reporting by my @nytimes colleagues. https://t.co/nru50vw9zV
