targeted assassination

基本解释

Just as Guantánamo was against America’s interests though judged legal by some American courts, so targeted assassination may cause more problems than it solves.
就比如關塔那摩，盡琯被一些美國法院判定爲郃法，但卻有悖於美國的利益——因此針對性的暗殺引致的問題可能會比它解決的問題還多。
It is not just that international law, which surely applies in this case, is less generous towards targeted assassination. There are questions to be asked even under American law.
不僅是因爲國際法（肯定適用於這種情況）對有針對性的暗殺不太寬容，就算蓡照美國的律法，此事仍有許多問題需要追問。
