side note -
i havent read the book but Baer , during Clinton term , was station
chief of Baghdaad running an assassination plot to take down Saddam ,
which apparently due to office politics and inside fcking between
parties he failed and called back to D.C . some $ corruption was
involved as well apparently . his book on Iran is a must read . during
his trip to Tehran under false identity of a BBC he arranged a meet and
interviewed Iran's Armed Forces joint staff Chief , and they had a nice
polite talk ( Shame on you Homeland for Ruining Broady with that stupid
story , btw ) . so while Baer writes good books , on "Assassinations"
you must read Victor Ostrovsky , the former Mossad Katsa , books . those
guys dont give a rat's ass about "Negative Karma" :>

Assassinations should stop.
Robert Baer, former CIA, just released a book called The Perfect Kill:
21
Laws for Assassins, in which he proposes essentially Rules of
Engagement
for assassinations.

I am Buddhist. Assassination is never appropriate. According to
Buddhism,
assassination creates negative karma. When someone is assassinated, it
creates a chain reaction which causes further killing.
One problem with ending assassination is that recent polls show most
Americans support assassination. So, we must rally together against
assassination.
Baer believes that assassination is a viable political option. I do
not. I
say, rather than assassination, let's get everyone together at the
negotiating table and conduct business with civility.
According to Fast Company, Business is War.
The whole point of Business as War is that we can compete without
killing
each other.
But in order for this to work, all the deals must be fair. Everyone
needs
to win.
So, the key challenge is structuring business deals where everyone
wins. In
Computer Science terms, this is the realm of Mechanism Design.

Is that going too far? Are cyber-scientists next?
