== Somebody's been playing silly buggers... ==

I was just reading this article and it would seem that someone lacking a sense of humor has been messing with it. I would suggest, provided someone has the time, the removal of the "Uranus" and "political sexlife"-stuff.

== "The CIA has allegedly made several attempts to assassinate Fidel Castro"... allegedly? ==

First off, the attempts to assassinate Castro by the US Government aren't just several, they number over 600 (as asserted by the documentary described at http://en.wikipedia.org/638_Ways_to_Kill_Castro). And those are just the ones directly tied to the government -- let alone the attempts by the US assets in the Cuban Exile community, such as Luis Posada Carriles. And why is the term "allegedly" used? Sounds like we're sugar-coating this one so as to maintain the rather generous presumption that the US doesn't assassinate folks.

Furthermore, there was a controversy some years ago where a US Congresswomen, Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, publicly said (on TV in fact) that she supported any and all attempts to assassinate Fidel Castro. If I remember correctly, she tried to stonewall the press and deny she said it, and then the unedited tape was released (and can currently be viewed on YouTube). Deserves a mention?

Also, the article refers to Salvador Allende as having "likely" died from assassination but I don't believe this is the case. Some folks still insist it was assassination and there isn't a consensus, but most investigative authorities deem it a suicide (including those involved in a politically neutral autopsy, post-Pinochet). ] (]) 17:55, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

Definition

How can assassination be described as "people calling it an extra-judicial killing that lacks due process". Assassination is by any definition illegal, it isn't exactly an extreme interpretation to describe it as "extra-judiacial", in fact that is a euphemism. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.197.15.138 (talk • contribs) 07:01, 12 June 2012‎
