""In 1941, the British Special Operations Executive (SOE) was authorised by Winston Churchill to assassinate high-ranking Nazis wherever they could be found.""

Apples and housebricks Keith.

The British were at war (a declared war) with Germany, and the territory in which such assassinations were approved was either the territory of an enemy power, or territory occupied and/or controlled by that enemy power.

Pakistan is not an enemy of the US, nor was it (by any stretch of the imagination) under the occupation or control of ObL or Al Qaeda.

Do you, I wonder, really understand what is meant by rational discussion?

Somehow, I doubt it!
