MR. BLITZER: Congressman Kucinich, if you were president of the United States and the intelligence community said to you, "We know where Osama bin Laden is, he's in Pakistan. We've got a specific target, but he's only going to be there for 20 minutes. You got to give the order, yes or no, to take him out with a HELLFIRE missile, but it's going to kill some innocent civilians at the same time," what would be your decision?
REP. KUCINICH: I don't think that a president of the United States, who believes in peace and who wants to create peace in the world, is going to be using assassinations as a tool, because when you do that, it comes back at your country. And I think that Osama bin Laden, if he's still alive, ought to be held to account in an international court of law and so should any other person who's been involved in a violation of international law, which has been result -- which has resulted in the deaths of many people.
And so I think that an America which has a strong stand morally in the world is an America that shows a way to get to peace, and an America that stands for peace is a strong country.
So I would say, to answer that question, I don't believe in assassination politics, and when you do that, you inevitably bring the assassination of our own leaders into play.
MR. BLITZER: Senator Obama, you want to respond?
SEN. OBAMA: Well, I think Dennis is right, that --
Just in case you are wondering:

If you read the last link above and are someone confused as to the relevance here I can help. There is an economic term called "Selling Short". Someone can make a lot of money if they know 'inside information'.
Example:

Huge surges in purchases of put options on stocks of the two airlines used in the attack -- United Airlines and American Airlines
Another term for "Selling Short" is "Put Options" another one is "Insider Trading".
All are forms of Assassination Politics – read Jim Bell (who went to prison after writing Assassination Politics).
