Given that assassination is defined as "murdering someone especially a public figure, usually for hire or for political reasons." How does this apply to Osama Bin Laden?

We are waiting.You've got the details wrong.FUJI forgets the last time the higher ups in the P'stan government were told of the US's target and their secret plans, the target bolted. No wonder they weren't told of the plans this time.
Again FUJI arguing a moral question is a scream, but that won't stop him.
In that incident members of the Pakistani military were informed. To make this operation legal only the Pakistani President and perhaps his inner circle needed to know about it.We are waiting.
The Actions of the USN SEALS or the S.O.E. Czech Resistance fighters are the same as those of James Tomkins, John Wikes Booth, Nathuram Godse or L.H. Oswald?How does it not fit?
That was his point, and the Pakistani's notified the subject and he fled.In that incident members of the Pakistani military were informed. To make this operation legal only the Pakistani President and perhaps his inner circle needed to know about it.
Does not the above seem to contradictThe Democrats had no choice but to kill OLB and his secret terror plots along the Bush/Cheney deals.
So they killed him to "shut him up" but took away all sorts of computers and documents. If the the sort of information you seemingly believe is contained on those computers is in fact, how long do you believe that could be kept a secret?What are the chances of the Seals finding of the Bush and OLB business deals of the past and forecoming years in the OLB's data base?
Why pick only those examples? Why not cite the Phoenix Program?The Actions of the USN SEALS or the S.O.E. Czech Resistance fighters are the same as those of James Tomkins, John Wikes Booth, Nathuram Godse or L.H. Oswald?
"(an individual) murdering someone especially a public figure, usually for hire or for political reasons."Why pick only those examples?
And the Phoenix Program was not meant to do that? How about the attempted "decapitation" strikes against Saddam and Gadaffi?"(an individual) murdering someone especially a public figure, usually for hire or for political reasons."
Not assassination.And the Phoenix Program was not meant to do that? How about the attempted "decapitation" strikes against Saddam and Gadaffi?
You seem to have your own personal, private, unique, and different definition of the word "assassination".Not assassination.
No more than it would have been had some sort of special opperations team gotten" Hitler.
I swear blackrock is obsessed with me. Is it love? Or just infatuation?FUJI reminds me of a dog with an old bone way paste it's time.
How do you know the US didn't discretely tip off Pakistan in some way? Don't be bitchy: I'm sure they meant to get your consent before going ahead but maybe it got lost in the mail...Might have been nice to let the Pakistani president know what was going on then, and got his consent. That would have made it both legal and moral.
the president there was being paid off by bin laden so telling him would have been giving bin laden advanced warning and a chance to flee and evade capture and punishment for his crimes once again. as for being moral, who gives a fuck he wasn't being moral when he told his guys to hijack planes and he was being even less moral when the marines busted in on him and he grabbed his wife as a human shield. morality has nothing to do with this, the guy got off easy for the things he did.Might have been nice to let the Pakistani president know what was going on then, and got his consent. That would have made it both legal and moral.
