We cannot afford such an action. We agree on this and the rest of your analysis, Ed.
Let's expand the list.
Along with Mr. Madsen and his publishers, beneficiaries include those for whom stirring dissension among and derision for our ranks are important missions. So too those who would seek to make Mr. Madsen Barack Obama's very own Vince Foster.
So without descending into an either/or choice, I'll simply note that I hear most distinctly in all this a "wolf" cry -- honest or not I cannot say -- that, like the archetype, likely will come back to haunt those doing the crying.
In the meantime, let's ask ourselves who would not benefit from Mr. Madsen's assassination -- other, of course, than Mr. Madsen himself and his family, loved ones, friends, and fans.

If an individual, through either his own volition or events over which he had no control, found himself taking up residence in a country undefined by flags or physical borders, he could be assured of one immediate and abiding consequence: He was on his own, and solitude and loneliness would probably be his companions unto the grave.

You can't blame the innocent, they are always guiltless. All you can do is control them or eliminate them. Innocence is a kind of insanity.
