Don't get me wrong, the guy deserved to be eliminated. But I think the decision to do it at this time was a knee jerk. He had been targeted on and off for years. But if you've penetrated their signals/commo/network to the point where you can pinpoint everything that is happening, you don't jeopardize that by tapping him and putting them on their guard about their communications and such without some serious thought. No leader (despite what US CEOs will tell you when the company is doing good) is critical to an organization (and when it's doing bad, they'll scream how can I possibly know what all is going on, blah blah blah). Clearly, elimnating this guy will not disrupt IRGC operations one whit, and, if it doesn't queer any breaks we have into their commo, it willl at a bare minimum put a vastly more unknown quantity in the drivers seat. We had, at least, a good read on this guy and what was inside his "go" zone and what was outside that zone. Good discussion.
