It seems somewhat ironic that bourgeois media (BBC, Guardian, Spiegel, much of European press), as well as revolutionaries such as Castro seriously question the legality of execution of prisoners by the US while some leftist chatter passes it off as 'nothing to abhor'.
Violation of bourgeois legality, though convenient for Obama, ought be highlighted, rather than dismissed. Particularly in light of the US history of assassinations from Lumumba, through Guevara, Qassim, Trujillo, Diem, and the dozens upon dozens of attempts on Castro, and even today, on Gaddafi.
'US executive order 12333, signed by President Ronald Reagan, says: "No person employed by or acting on behalf of the United States government shall engage in, or conspire to engage in, assassination."
