Every tyrant, king, president, czar or prime minister has always dreamed of having omnipotent power to snuff out criticism or critical journalism.
Now there is a report that Hillary Clinton, as U.S. Secretary of State, thought seriously about killing Julian Assange (founder of the website Wikilieaks, which has exposed massive government corruption) by a drone strike. See here.
Of course, Assange has been holed up for several years in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London. Any drone strike upon Assange would have triggered a war or a major international incident.
