hmaly, re: "therefore targeting him is not an act against an individual, but rather an attack against a military target" I did a little more research. While I agree that Saddam was a legitimate military target he was also a foreign leader and Ford's executive order prohibits assassination of foreign leaders. So while the military could pursue targets which might contain Saddam they could not specifically target Saddam. AFAIK this order has been reconsidered after 9/11 but not reversed. My web searching didn't find a nice link on what is and what is not "allowed" by this order. I am not sure how the US managed to bomb Qadafi's (sp?) house while staying within the limits. -PT
