The SAS certainly breeds fear into their enemies though thanks to their reputation. And I have read stories of a Ghurka who made it in the SAS who defended an outpost single handedly from a 50 man assault with nothing more than a bunker and a machine gun.
The only weapon he did not use was the traditional Kukri knife carried by Gurkhas because he did not have his with him at the time.

Where does it say assasination?
They plan to do the same Kangaroo court as they did in Iraq with Saddam.
Even the lawyers involved in that court said it was so.
Then they get away with it by claiming "but the people wanted it, he was tried by his own people".
Yeah right.

Some lawyer somewhere could easily render execution or life imprisonment as something different than assassination.
