A big chunk of the thread had gone slightly off-topic into a heated discussion comparing military ops to terrorism. I've cut that out and created a new thread. However, for those participating in the discussion on Terrorist Targeting vs Military Targeting, keep in mind that this discussion can go south quickly (its already hovering on the edge) if anyone descends to direct attacks upon other members in the discussion, their affiliations or background. Attack the faults in the argument - not the presenter.
