Killing Hitler2003

[talking about the ethics of killing a head of state]

Rachel:
I think we *should* look into the possibility of using a sniper. You know there's rumour that in 1938 the British attach? in Berlin suggested that.

L/BX:
Why wasn't it taken up?

Rachel:
You can't just kill someone because of what they might do in the future. Assassination's hard to justify when you're not at war - it's generally called "murder".
