The U.S. government has declared that they can assassinate anyone in a foreign country, including U.S. citizens. As a U.S. citizen abroad, could I make their hitlist?

3. Executive Order 12333
prohibits assassination.

2.11 Prohibition on Assassination.

No person employed by or acting on behalf of the United States Government shall engage in, or conspire to engage in, assassination.
