To the Editor:
     According to our treaty obligations (the "supreme law of the land") agents, officers and contractors of our C.I.A. using deadly force are "unlawful combatants" and those they kill are murder victims. That's as true when they use drones as when they use poisons or garrotes. If we are paying them to commit what may be war crimes, we deserve to be a diplomatic pariah among the nations.
