That's one reason I'm not willing to pass judgement on the policy.
I don't know how they defined "credible reason." I doubt it was just the bosses saying "if you think they're a terrorist shoot them." If it was, then yes it is wrong. But only getting the executive summary of the policy isn't enough information, especially since the act that happened doesn't seem to live up to even that policy.
But no, on the surface I'm not impressed with this instance of shoot-to-kill authority being given. You expanded that to ask if all shoot-to-kill is indicted and I don't feel it is. Not by this.
