Which head of state did the US assassinate?

I think he means Gaddafi, but he was killed by Libyans, not Americans.
Perhaps, but there are reports coming out now that a Predator drone fired on his convoy, so the US wasn't exactly hands off.
I don't think the Libyans would have been able to kill him without our help.
Providing material support to a revolution isn't the same thing as an assassination. Due process doesn't apply on a battlefield, but it should apply to a prisoner in custody.
