Assassination is murder, murder by definition is illegal and immoral. The state in time of war has a legal and moral right to kill, but only the declared enemy and only in the declared war zone. If a nation is harboring terrorist waging war on the USA or it’s allies then get that nation to take action against the terrorists, if said nation will not then declare war. (The modern means of declaring war seems to be to get Congress to authorize the President to take whatever military actions he deems appropriate).
RE: Assassination is murder, murder by definition is illegal and immoral.
1) Aren’t we at war with Al Qaeda and the Taliban?
2) Pakistan (whether we believe them or not ) tells us that they tried their darned best to find Bin Laden but could not.
3) We found Bin Laden and knew where he was and know that he was hiding just a few miles from Pakistan’s Military base...
Is it your contention that we should not have taken him out and just let him go and continue allowing him to give orders to his cells to kill Americans everywhere?
