Targeting Terrorists: A License to Kill? examines the political history and ethics of targeted killing. Avery Plaw's analysis addresses the questions of moral, political and legal justification in the context of the current 'war on terror' and of legitimate/illegitimate forms of counter-terrorism more generally.

In the ongoing war on terror both the American and Israeli governments
have resorted to a policy of 'targeting terrorists'. In essence,
both governments authorize their military or intelligence services to
kill specific 'terrorists' who they believe mortally threaten citizens
and cannot otherwise be neutralized. President Bush calls this 'sudden
justice' and the Israeli government 'targeted killing' but their critics
speak of 'assassination', 'liquidation' or 'extra-judicial killing'.
Since 11 September 2001, America is reported to have killed at least
44 people without warning or trial under the guidance of this policy,
at least 18 of whom were civilians; the Israelis have killed at least 348,
including 120 unintended targets (B'tselem 2006; Byman 2006b;
Meyer 2006).
