William Blum's Occasional Anti-Empire Report - some sane analysis
#9
Drew Phipps Wrote:Still should be called an "execution" instead of an "assassination". And wasn't Quaddafi killed after his capture by rebels in a van or something? That hardly approaches even the semblance of judicial authority that Hussein received.

Isn't the usually accepted difference between execution and assassination that the latter is for political reasons and the former for the punishment of criminal acts? That would make the 50 plus Pete and Bill Blum were talking about assassinations because they're for political reasons...
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
Carl Jung - Aion (1951). CW 9, Part II: P.14
