The downside to establishing an ongoing assassination program is possible reprisals...very few US government officials have any security at all, and there are thousands of potential targets when you include state and local officials. Not to mention a few million US tourists overseas every year with no protection at all. America would not be willing to accept tit for tat political and civilian killings, unlike the way we ignore drug-related drive by hits. I doubt we will see the order overturned but it is possible. Hope someone in Washington thinks through the consequences. I spent 13 years overseas as a US government employee and potential target. For the benefit of any US government computer that plucks down this message because it refers to attacks on government officials, I am speaking purely hypothetically in response to a discussion about deliberate assassinations. (Can you say key-word search?)

Dale, I had both an NSA and CIA agent as roommates way back in the Carter Administration. While planes look impressive and make things go "boom" in tv footage, and destroy physical plant/bases, IMO the real dirty work that counts for the western democracies will be the cooperation of the CIA/KGB/Spec OPS4/NSA/OSS/MOSHAD/MI5/SAS etc in sharing information relentlessly to track down and "neutralize" whenever and wherever found specified individuals in certain organizations.... Also your statement on CIA agent assassination power fits what I unofficially understood the US policy to be since 1979 in the intelligence community....Empower the "Johny Boys".... Want to join the CIA in its efforts to protect democracy and the free world lifestyle? Contact: odci.gov

<< their is a move a foot in the senate to override the executive assassination order. >> I believe the Pres can rescind an exec order by himself. In the 1960s and 1970's the US did a lot of bad stuff in Chile and other areas of Latin America that was no business of ours. This meddling brought on that exec order. It surely was not meant to prevent us from defending ourselves against massive attacks like what occured yesterday.
