Terror group 'decapitation' doesn't work

Via Robert Wright, who actually has a good NYT opinion blog this week, knocking off the leader of a religious extremist group only disempowers that group about one-sixth of the time.

Something for The One to think about, in addition to extra-constitutional illegality, when he talks about assassinating American citizens.

That's in addition to being acts of war under intl law (that pesky world court worry again) etc., and risking further decay of Pakistan into a failed state.
