in modified form by Reagan, expressly forbade the use of U.S. intelligence assets to assassinate foreign leaders.
Not an attorney so don't know whether 11905 applies here (or even whether it is still in force after Bush eviscerated the rule of law).
I sure hope someone in the chain of command considered the question, since the last time I checked the U.S. Constitution forbade bills of attainder. Again, though, not an attorney so don't know whether the ban on bills of attainder applies here, since it it Congress that would have to pass said unconstitutional bill of attainder.
