Assassination as a foreign policy tool, will it ever be on the table again?

I don't consider terrorists political figures.

Leaders of nations, presidents, prime ministers, are what I mean.

I don't think the white house has given any orders to kill Irans president, as example.
Like we activly tried to kill castro.

They've been using it as a domestic policy tool for years, as Ron Brown, Paul Wellstone, Andrew Breitbart, Martin Luther King, Elvis Presley, and John Lennon would gladly tell you all about if only they weren't in hiding because their body doubles were killed by "the government," if it really exists.

That you know of. Just because it's publicly spurned doesn't  mean it's fallen out of favor. Thankfully it has to be approved at the highest levels now which prevents some of the abuses and wanton destabilizing violence we saw in the past, but folks die accidentally or unexpectedly at politically convenient times quite often still.

ETA: Excluding terrorists of course. They get buttfucked with hellfires regularly and publicly.

Bhutto was a former Prime Minister and still a big political figure in her country.

I thought I was clear, in my OP, that I meant our government.

Sorry, didn't mean to confuse anyone. I know other countries still use it as an arm of their
foreign policy.
