4. And again, we loop back to the part where you seem to have decided that you, alone, as a committee of one, get to determine what is allowed to be said on the topic at all. And yet me, who is also one person, is \\\'\\\'not\\\'\\\' allowed to so much as assert that something might be in \\\"general consensus\\\". How\\\'s about an experiment: why don\\\'t you try leaving the entry up this time and see if \\\'\\\'anyone else\\\'\\\' actually objects to its being there? Then we could find out what the general consensus \\\'\\\'really\\\'\\\' is instead of thinking that you get to write it all by yourself. I\\\'m pretty sure that outside of you, nobody else is going to give a damn about its being up.

3. You \'\'are\'\' aware that the Executive Order forbidding government assassinations \'\'only\'\' means that it can\'t be done without Presidential permission, not that its illegal? (As, y\'know, executive orders are subject to change by the chief executive whenever he feels like.) It is in no way a moral condemnation of, it only means that they don\'t want the US government specifically targeting people without the commander-in-chief knowing about it and signing the permission slip. And again, \'\'giant glowing laser beam from space\'\'. It would be kind of hard to use one of those \'\'without\'\' it coming to the President\'s attention. So again, the plot tries to strawman these guys, but ignores the gaping plot hole in their script\'s logic. It also means that your assertion that its \'generally accepted\' that CIA assassination is a bad thing and so can be demonized by any movie that cares to do so, without them having to justify it, is, y\'know, not correct.

Some people actually disagree -- you\\\'re talking to one right now -- and that\\\'s all it takes to make it a point in contention rather than a point of general acceptance that can be safely assumed, and is not allowed to be challenged on the main page.
