5/9 If U.S. doesn't do assissination, then what do you call
Operation Neptune Spear aka "Mission Kill Bin Laden"?
\_ I think theoretically the difference is that the goal of one is
"kill him/her", while the goal of the other is "capture him/her,
and don't hestitate to shoot with the possibly of killing if he/she
and don't hesitate to shoot with the possibly of killing if he/she
resists capturing."
\_ OBL did not resist. He didn't even have a weapon on his hand
when he was shot in the head.
\_ Like I said, it was "theoretically". He might have been two
seconds too slow in raising his hands, which could be
conveniently considered resisting capturing. -- PP
\_ Right. Similarly, those Predator drones are actually designed
to capture people alive, and they only fire their missiles as a
last resort.
\_ Hmm, those missions I cannot explain. Maybe the Pentagon/CIA
phrased those as "destroying enemy facility while tolerating
collateral damage on enemy lives"? -- PP
\_ US hires the best lawyers to take care of semantics

assassinated
by military or intelligence operatives overseas if the individual is
working with terrorists and planning to attack fellow Americans."

It is obvious that our policy is that we assassinate anyone that we
feel like.
