I'm not sure 'assassination' is the right word for this. I mean, how many people have we 'assassinated' in Iraq and Afghanistan/Pakistan so far in this undeclared 'war'. Why can the military use bombs to kill targeted people and innocents when the CIA has techniques that would kill people with no trace of American involvement.
I actually agree with Cheney and this program. If we were able to kill the leaders quietly and make it seem like Allah was killing them in various accidents, it would have been a different battle.
