Licence to kill (concept)
From Academic Kids
This article is about the concept. For the James Bond movie, see Licence to Kill.
While the idea of a license to kill is favored by headline writers[1] (http://www.guardian.co.uk/waronterror/story/0,1361,578501,00.html), there is no such thing. Permissions to employ deadly force and regulation of justifiable homicide are found either in the statutes of a country, particular and direct executive orders, the common law, or military rules of engagement.
