ParticipantAccording to Harvard International Review, May 6, 2006 :Black's Law Dictionary defines assassination as "the act of deliberately killing someone especially a public figure, usually for hire or for political reasons." If termed "assassination," then attacks on leaders have been construed as prohibited by Article 23b of the Hague Convention of 1899, which outlaws "treacherous" attacks on adversaries, and by the Protocol Addition to the Geneva Convention of 1949, and Relating to the Protection of Victims of International Armed Conflict (Protocol I), which prohibits attacks that rely on "perfidy." But in recent years, and especially since the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, Israel and the United States have reframed such actions as "targeted killings," defining the victims as "enemy combatants" who are therefore legitimate targets wherever they are found.

ParticipantJust to clarify, was truly he the last remaining WWI veteran, or is there some qualifier (e.g. last remaining Allied veteran, etc.)?
He was thought to be the last living combat veteran of WWI

ParticipantSpecops expert, I don't think I have ever made that claim. Military historian yes, snake eater no.
You don't know what you are missing : ... for the brave you can go to specialized snake restaurants and order the king of all snakes, the Cobra. You can select a size and type of snake you would like from the cages and then the snake is killed in front of you and the blood is drained into a glass along with the bile from the stomach. The heart of the snake is then removed and also placed in a separate glass. The blood is to be consumed with rice vodka and the still beating heart of the snake to be swallowed whole still beating as it goes down your throat ... A rare delight ! ;D

ParticipantHopefully not, but another question I ask would be did the US government view Geronimo as an equal threat back then just as the current government views (or viewed) OBL now?
I don't think so ("beware of eulogy")If you are right, then this is a big mistake (which I doubt)

ParticipantChart is deceptive because most from eastern Europe were murdered in their own country or region while most in the west were transported to the death camps.
Surprisingly the Netherlands reach second according to that chart with a 91% rate. The Netherlands are right in the core of western Europe though. France got 25% "only" although the recent contreversies about collaboration and deportation have recently occupied the first page in many medias.http://articles.cnn.com/2009-02-16/world/france.holocaust.court_1_trial-of-maurice-papon-vichy-government-deportation?_s=PM:WORLD http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/1197783.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7893127.stm About Bulgaria, I wonder if History didn't play a role with its important muslim community. In many nazi occupied muslim countries, the hunt for Jews didn't seem to work well (except with the Mufti of Jerusalem). Is this an explanation about Bulgaria lowest rate as well or am I totally wrong ? http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/myths/mf15.html This chart is really amazing ...

ParticipantMaybe because Geronimo had nothing to do with Bin Laden, it was the most secure code !?
Difficult question : however I dont recall how many attempt were launched against OBL but I think they miserably failed because of "unfortunate" leaks ... hence a total secrecy surrounding the last one (not to mention a probable paranoid climate about this last long-breathed hunt)You might be right when evoking a kind of total blackout even through code-names (all details matter)!Let's wait for our special ops expert, Scout ! 😉

ParticipantOK. You said "nothing in Powell's speech is namely about integration but immigration only" I am just pointing out your error. ::)
I think you misunderstand my request : Just asking for some evidences about your following statement : (...) "also about non-productive immigrants who come to the nation to get free stuff like health care." 😛
