Was using missles fired from helicopter gunships to assinate Yassin in a
wheelchair immoral?

""Taxi driver Yousef Haddad, who was in a nearby shop at the time of the attack
and was one of the first on the scene, told the Associated Press: "His
wheelchair was twisted. Two or three people were lying next to him on the
ground. One was legless.""

Now if they just crushed his wheelchair.. or sold it.. it would be worse for
Israel?

Personally being of high morals, I think they should have strapped missiles to
this wheelchair mythbuster style and sent Yassin for a land speed record.

They probably bulldozed his house after his first offence but some
terrorists can be a bit recalcitrant!

I daresay they'd have confiscated his wheelchair and made him crawl to
wherever he then called home if they'd been able to catch him. Since
they obviously couldn't sterner measures would've been called for.
Pretty good shooting when they can nail him and his mates from a
helicopter without collateral damage.

I've no problem with crushing it but, aside from the immorality,
selling it on would simply make it available to other terrorists.

And risk the lives of innocent bystanders!!!

I suspect in this instance they would've aimed their missile just
below the wheelchair and gone for an altitude record.

Why, it was crushed to make a point, not a dollar.

Good point... I guess a lot of insurance issues with a high speed wheelchair
like kicking up dust leading to multi million dollar silicosis claims.

Don't they make them into a cube, not a point like a pyramid?
Scrap metal car is Shirley worth more than a dollar.
Pretty sure they would pull out the motor and other stuff before crushing the
body.
