I don't like any government thinking it can go about assassinating those people it doesn't like. That said, about every government on the planet (Canada not yet, to my knowledge, but Canada has only been a around in its current form for about 30 years) is proven to have assassinated people, normally secretly, though the perpetrators usually become known with the passage of time. The British, the French, Israel, and the US have definitely got blood all over their hands, and niether the Chinesen or the Russians have a thing to say either. Wer can work our way down thorough the lessor players if you want. Perhaps the ancient concept of an outlaw might be brought back, and at least the recipients of the honor might be publicly notified (if they even care) that they were wanted "dead or alive." However in this case I note most every nation has a crime called treason or something similar in nature regarding those of its citizens/subjects who take up arms and make war against their own land, and traitors genereally get the working end of whatever weapons their countrymen and women possess used on them. In this case, I doubt the fools would survive a US treason trial intact, assuming they were caught and brounght to justice. I think the US should make the list public, if for no other reason then to notify (and terrorize) those on it. (Turn yourself in or die, and we don't really care which, save to note a rocket or a buillet is a lot cheaper then a trial.)
