For a Secret Agent Man, you seem to be farther behind the times than Austin Powers. Even the assassination ban only applied to, uhm, foreign leaders, right?
And who is this "we as a nation"? I hope you don't think peanut-boy, google-boy, Bubba and 3G reflect the choice of the nation. In this regard, Atticus and 3G indicated that they don't believe in executing domestic threats under at least some circumstances, or at least they don't believe that Chile's
not-necessarily-legitimate government should have been able to do so. However, I can't imagine that there are really any prohibitions against the U.S. government executing known foreign threats. Were there?
