If the U.S. military isn't going to release details on the justification for killing 11 civilians in a civilian boat who weren't posing a threat to anyone, then we have to conclude the "justification" is: the U.S. military is willing to kill civilians to give Trump social media content.

This kind of thing was a huge controversy during the so-called War on Terror and now it's barely a blip in the news. So the federal government has fully moved into granting itself the authority to kill foreign civilians anywhere, anytime as long as it nods to some sort of criminal activity, I guess
