The headline and lede from Jason Lange’s Reuters story is infuriating and mortifying:

Just 29% of Americans support US military killing drug suspects

Only 29% of Americans support using the U.S. military to kill suspected drug traffickers without a judge or court being involved, a rebuke of President Donald Trump’s strikes in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific Ocean, a Reuters/Ipsos poll found.

Using “just” and “only” is doing a lot of heavy lifting, here. It would be more honest—and equally accurate—if Reuters dropped both words and wrote that almost a third of Americans are cool with extrajudicial murder. Here’s a rewrite:

29% of Americans Support US Military Killing Drug Suspects

Fully 29% of Americans support using the U.S. military to kill suspected drug traffickers without a judge or court being involved, supporting President Donald Trump’s strikes in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific Ocean, a Reuters/Ipsos poll found.

Naturally, the Republicans are more bloodthirsty, with 58% supporting these illegal strikes against unarmed civilians, versus 10% of Democrats. Disturbingly, 15% of both Republicans and Democrats are “unsure” whether they support or oppose such strikes.
