#6 Danielle,
from what little I've gathered the folks doing the investigation have done due diligence and gathered quite a bit of evidence, time-lines, people: good and bad actors, confessions, the flow of $$$, so the whole crime can be laid out like a good book.[non-fiction]

#7 The problem is that this Hariri murder is not a crime, per se, but more like an act of war on the part of Syria. When the trail leads back to Syria, wacha gonna do? Are you going to have a decade-long tribunal and put political pressure on Syria?

It seems that we are dealing with acts of war, so a well placed device near the perps just might get the message across appropriately. It is like court cases for terrorists. You are dealing more with acts of war than with criminal activities.
