Political assassination has never been "fair game", including generals and commanders. Sure, he may at times have been directly involved with a criminal terrorist organization, but my point was that that warrants criminal prosecution, not assassination. At the time he was killed, he was not involved with combat, which makes the killing criminal.

Since you've gone and invoked Godwin's law, and I still responded, I'll play: Hitler? How were Nazi criminals treated? Were they tried in courts, or hunted down by special forces and murdered unarmed in their homes?
