Like they ever stopped.
Did we talk about this?
[T]his is a CIA assassination program, not a Special Forces program; and while [Seymour] Hersh is correct when he says the targets are members of the outlawed Ba'ath Party, he tactfully skirts the fact that this assassination program is illegal because it targets civilians not soldiers. Americans have denied these Iraqui civilians due process in their own country. Based on the word of a single anonymous informant, Ba'ath Party members who have never harmed a single American can be detained indefinitely, tortured until they rat out some colleagues, or become a double agent, or they can be assassinated along with their family, friends and neighbors.
And not just Ba'ath Party members, but anyone who gets their name on the CIA's blacklist of political and ideological enemies.
