Executive action
Executive Action was the term used by the CIA starting in the early 1950s to refer to their assassination operations. These operations were often conducted by the CIA's Division D, a subsection of the agency's Directorate of Operations. "Executive Action" operations by the CIA ranged from an attempt to kill Fidel Castro using a cigar injected with Botulism toxin to (purportedly) killing rebel leader Che Guevara. Assassination was outlawed by the Ford administration in 1976 with Executive Order 12333.
