  11. You link assassination with civil disobedience when you demand that
  12. the morally sensitive assassin agree to stand trial for what otherwise
  13. you conceed to be justified homicide.  Why?  Why ask that the generals
  14. plotting against Hitler, or anyone, especially more humbly situated
  15. but otherwise analagous, agree to sucide?  Is publicity the key?  Do
  16. you think God unable to visit final vengeance?
  17. In short: why not let the good guys win one for once?
