    Assassination is when members of a militant organization we’re in armed conflict with are killed, I guess.

      Any “military aged male” killed by a drone strike is counted as an “enemy combatant,” even when there’s not a shred of evidence.

        I have. Numerous times. Is this the “US citizens must be taken for a trial even when waging war against the US” or “Collateral damage is assassination” argument?

          The USA should stopp mass murdering village elders, farmers and so on, because they had been at the same location as someone else. The USA killed ten thousands without a single proof of them being guilty of anything. The USA also killed the families (including small children) of many of these innocent people.

            Ah, the second option. So it has nothing to do with assassination at all, and that word is just being used for shock value. Great. Good talk.
