161 INT. BRIEFING ROOM A - WHITEHALL - AFTERNOON 161 Continuing... YELLOW SHOOTING SCRIPT 12 September 2014 70.

GEORGE:

Angela, in my view all the legal criteria for an attack have been met, namely: This is a military necessity, there is no reasonable alternative, and the force to be used is in proportion to the threat. That should answer your question.

Angela，在我看来，袭击的所有法律标准都得到了满足，即：这是军事上的必要性，没有合理的替代方案，使用的武力与威胁成正比。这应该能回答你的问题。

ANGELA:

It does not, George! Has there ever been a British led drone attack on a city in a friendly country that is not at war?

WOODALE now looks uneasy again.

WOODALE:

General?

LIEUTENANT-GENERAL BENSON (reluctantly) I do not believe so. No.

ANGELA:

Then how can we sanction it?

STEVE:

I have an ROE question. Is my Government aware that we are targeting a person with a US passport?

我有一个ROE问题。我国政府是否知道我们针对的是持有美国护照的人？

Yes, Ma’am.
