...Crimson’s specific condemnation of Israel??s targeted killing of Sheik Achmed Yassin (Editorial...
...strange that American indignation at Israel??s defensive maneuver comes just as news emerges from the White House that President Clinton had ordered the CIA to take out Osama Bin Laden at the first opportunity. In addition, before the start of the current war in Iraq, President Bush launched a “decapitation strike” aimed at taking out Saddam Hussein. A missile was directed towards a house in Baghdad and the American population was generally disappointed when it was discovered that the attack was unsuccessful...
While I commend The Crimson’s balanced and on-point opposition on pragmatic grounds to Israel??s assassination of Sheik Ahmed Yassin (Editorial, “Assassination Doesn’t Work,” March 25), the moral critique that the editors put forth is unfounded and inaccurate.
