How States Square the Circle on Assassination

This episode traces the history of state-sponsored targeted killing, from the medieval Hashashin to Israel’s Mossad operations and America’s post-9/11 drone program. We examine the parallel legal architectures that allow rule-of-law states to conduct assassinations outside the courtroom, the elastic definitions of “imminent threat,” and the constitutional tensions raised by kill lists and disposition matrices. A deep dive into how states square the circle. Episode #289973 — open it directly at myweirdprompts.com/289973
