The other point that you made was that they had a strong case, or they could have had a strong case against the deceased with the diary and the like.  But my guess is that in many so-called political killings, even in the undisputed ones, the person had the choice to do something else.  It is just that they go for the worst thing which is murder.  But if you start looking at it, it doesn't mean that anyone of them didn't have any alternative.  For one thing they could have left the deceased.  Everybody had that choice.  I don't know whether one can use that rigorous test against their actions and say well, they shouldn't have killed him, they should have taken him to the police station.  After all they had the diary, that sort of thing.
All these murders are foolish, anyway, aren't they?
