TIME, Jun. 18, 2007: Is Assassination Allowed or Not?
The question might also read, "And if so, for how long now." I'm still investigating the
assassinations during the Reagan-Bush years -- no statute of limitations on capital offenses.

Is Assassination Allowed or Not?

It's been almost six years since 9/11, and the national intelligence director only now has gotten around to thinking about rewriting Executive Order 12,333, the intelligence community's bible issued under President Reagan in 1981, which lays down the duties and authorities of 14 of our intelligence agencies (two of them did not exist when E.O 12,333 was written). Well, better late than never.

When the order was established, terrorism still wasn't a priority for the Reagan White House; in the section covering the FBI, terrorism is not even mentioned. And in ordering warrantless NSA intercepts on Americans, the Bush Administration put the last nail in E.O. 12,333's coffin.

Up until 9/11, after all, E.O. 12,333 had the full force of law inside the intelligence community, particularly the ban on assassination and the protection of Americans' rights. ........

.... A whisper from the White House — Don't worry, the Attorney General says what you're doing is completely legal — won't cut it any longer.

1. Uh, if assassination is legal
then we open the door on our own people, public or private.

2. Assasinated Americans: Ben Linder, Linda Frasier ....
are the public faces known in the media. These are just two American citizens
from my city who were assassinated in covert operations/wars.

Will their killers be brought to the bar of justice?

Also, I would add, the entire human race is "our own people."
