  • It seems pretty commonplace now to kill 'terrorists' with these assassinations by drone, but is there another recent example of the West (ie the US) extrajudicially killing someone not considered a terrorist, leading an army they are not at war with?

    It seems to be completely against the rule of law. Definitely scary times ahead.

    The whole reason the US annouced the Qud's were to be listed as a terrorist organisation was so that they could kill Suleimani at some point

  • The whole reason the US annouced the Qud's were to be listed as a terrorist organisation was so that they could kill Suleimani at some point without having to go to congress for approval
