This is just nitpicking. You &quot;just&quot; kill a person with a gun, but you don&#x27;t &quot;just&quot; kill a person with a missile. Any complex weapon system will require you to &quot;authorize&quot; the launch. Similarly here, &quot;authorizing to assasinate&quot; should be read as &quot;deployed a very complex weapon&quot;. Obviously, in no way this absolves one from responsibility.
