The whole assination law is bullshit. We can't deploy a small division of snipers to shoot sadam, but we can launch 30million dollars worth of missles at every knowen target he might be at.
I am dissapointed Saddams son's died instead of being captured, I think it would have been much more of a victory. You say, there was no way the could but if they were sourrounded in that villa they could have had a standoff to negotiate surrender or use non lethal tactics. This mans two children died and we watch people cheering and celebrating on television that they were elimated. I have seen the profiles claiming how horrific they both are but really, we have no idea what sort of people they were. I guess I just feel that although the proper action would have been to stop/kill/detaine them, it is wrong to boast that their two lives are a victory of american troops.
