This is for a paper I promise.
Hey guys, let's talk about ASSASSINATION!
Please, pick apart this conceptual analysis and tell me what confuses you or if you see any holes in it. Try to give me counter-examples so I can tighten up the wording and know where my logic falters. Tell me if there are any terms in the analysis that need to be defined before the analysis is entirely clear. If it doesn't jive with your definition, explain why (maybe something is left out here or too much is included). Basically, discuss this with me, whether you agree or disagree with the definition I've given.
"An assassination is the [covertly performed]1 targeted killing of a high-profile individual committed2 for political or ideological reasons."

[Edit] Definitions of terms:
"Covertly performed" means that it is not performed in the open and that the assassin has taken measures to hide herself in some manner. "Targeted killing" means that the victim was the intended victim and that the victim was not chosen at random; it also implies that some degree of planning went into the killing.
