Going too far

The IDF has moved on up from shooting at ambulances to now firing missiles at hospitals. Wonderful. Charles Sheehan-Miles claims that Israel is "going too far" - not for these assaults - but for its planned killings on American soil.

In a development that probably shouldn't shock me, but does, Israel has publicly announced plans to murder people on U.S. soil. The story initially surfaced in a January 15 report by United Press International correspondent Richard Sale. Sale reports not only the aggressive plan of Israel's Mossad intelligence agency to conduct targeted assassinations in other countries, but also the nonplussed reaction of U.S. officials. I can't decide if Israel's new policy, or the American lack of outrage, is what disturbs me the most.
