A question to you folks supporting the assassination: Are you ok with other nations taking up the same kind of policy? By claiming it as a valid way for a nation to deal with international disputes, we're implicitly endorsing other nations doing the same, perhaps to us.
Killing a terrorist kingpin is NOT an international dispute, dumbass!
A lot of people today seem to be utterly oblivious to a fundamental aspect of morality and ethics - namely the universality of it all. If you claim that something is wrong, then it's wrong for everyone, not just people you don't like. Likewise, if you're saying it's not ok for you to do, then it's ok for others to do. That fact that so many people don't get this is deeply disturbing.
Did you rend your garments, gnash your teeth and cry to the heavens when Osama's brains got splattered?
You probably did, you brainless twit!
Take your emotions out of it and think. If we endorse state ordered assassinations as business-as-usual, we make the world a much more dangerous place.
