Ordinarily, I would say, no. But in some cases, yes. Suppose we had another 9/11. Suppose we knew the 18 hijackers were making their way toward the respective airports and we could intervene. Would we sanction their assassinations? Given what we know about the events that transpired following those horrendous attacks, I would say, absolutely. But, hindsight is 20/20.
