Dale, yes, murder is a crime...I know where you're going, though.  Homicide ISN'T always a crime.

No, that wasn't where I was going, but wouldn't you call killing in a war, murder? I mean it's killing, but it's legal.

Also,

On a side note, if you don't believe that our country has hit men, then you should open your eyes, also, what about self defense?

[CrAz3D]

During war, it's still homicide.  Murder is a crime, always.

Self defense isn't murder, it's homicide.

Hit men/CIA ops/whatever are government agents acting under the confines of the law that justify their homicides.  Therefore, no murder.




Homicide is only murder if it is an unlawful killing.  Self defense, war, and assassinations are lawful (assassinations you might be able to take issues with, but that's a hugely complex things of international law and treaty)

1.   Law. the killing of another human being under conditions specifically covered in law.

I'm sorry but this definition matches murder as killing another human being which is exactly what war, and assassinations are.

Assassinations aren't covered by law, they're still illegal, it's just something we don't hear about...

Hit men/CIA ops/whatever are government agents acting under the confines of the law that justify their homicides.  Therefore, no murder.

Actually, they're not acting within the confinements of the law. That's why they're secretive about it. Murder is murder, regardless of the circumstances. Whether punishment is needed or not can be a circumstantial thing, but killing someone in self-defense, anger, passion, whatever, is killing someone.

How do homicide and murder differ, by the way? According to Wikipedia [link] it's Murder.

[CrAz3D]

While all murder is homicide, not all homicide is murder

[CrAz3D]
