(Hudson Institute-New York) Alan M. Dershowitz - The decision to target and kill Osama bin Laden is being applauded by all decent people. Although bin Laden wore no military uniform and held no official military rank, he was an appropriate military target - the commander in chief of a terrorist army. There are those who claim that all targeted killings are immoral and illegal, characterizing such actions as "extrajudicial executions." Yet suddenly targeted killing is not only legal and moral, it is praiseworthy. Israel developed the concept of targeted killings and used it effectively against Hamas, which directed terrorist attacks against Israeli civilians, killing and wounding more Israelis, as a percentage of its population, than the number killed by bin Laden. 2011-05-03 00:00:00Full Article
