They did this shit all the time in the cold war so why all the sudden is it so wrong now?
I think this is some kind of cover. Not sure.
So? The US has assassinated people before.

What does CoD have to do with this?
[QUOTE=Prismatex;16028081]If, say, Germany, sent a team of assassins into the US and assassinated, say, Timothy McVeigh, would you be outraged?[/QUOTE] Timothy McVeigh committed a terrorist act within the United States, his home country, not Germany. Al Qaeda attacked foreign soil. Huge fucking difference.
Sorry, bad example. Please execute me.

This plan wasn't any secret, why would anyone be shocked?
Not sure, but there must be some reason Dick Cheney wanted to hide it.

To us, that's just nothing. I wouldn't be ultra-suprised if this was a bit of a cover-story, but I doubt it. It sounds like it would fit.
I remember that jon Stewart talked about this months and maybe even a year ago. He was talking about some guy who went on some news show and said that dick Cheney created a group of lawless assassins
Honestly? Big fucking deal. I say they should have done it. Assassin's can perform jobs better than an entire platoon of soldiers. Often times, they are clean, quick, and quiet. And its generally cheaper to use a government assassin than a fuckload of soldiers. And instead of many people dead if it fucks up, one or two die, and you can't easily trace it back.
sounds like a job for jack bauer or jack ryan

Why didn't they? How is taking out a target with snipers or a small team of specialists any different than taking out a target with a raid by a larger force, aside from the fact that the raid would ultimately lead to many more deaths? I see absolutely no issue with assassinating the leaders of an enemy force during a war. Assassins have been used to kill high-value targets since the beginning of warfare, and for good reason. Why waste the lives of many when a small unit can strike a single target and leave? If you remove the leaders, the followers run around blindly for a time. We're at war with these people. For what possible reason [I]wouldn't[/I] we try to assassinate high value targets rather than wasting lives to capture them with a full scale assault?

[QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;16027766]Why in the world do they feel the need to keep plans to assassinate leaders of a terrorist organization that admitted to killing 3,000 of our citizens secret? I mean, obviously you shouldn't tell them what we're gonna do, but I think the fact that we're planning on shooting them in the face is pretty apparent.[/QUOTE] Well if someone told you they were going to send teams to assassinate you, are you going to just sit there? Or put up a few more security measures? Obviously it is best to not even hint at it because then the actual process of assassinating them would be even harder.
Let's take a look back at World War I shall we? Austrian Arch Duke Ferdinand is assinated by Serbian nationalist. Austrians demand that Serbia let them invade their country to figure what was going on. Serbia says no, so Austria declares war on Serbia. Germany joins Austria, and the UK and France join Serbia. The rest is history. There are some obvious parralels with 9/11 and invading Iraq and Afghanistan.
