They are America's assassins. Israel uses Mossad in the same manner. I don't see a problem with this sort of tactic in a time of war. When these powers are used in peace time, it's illegality is without question and an obvious breach of sovereignty. In answser to the question you posed about this being a covert operation, I think one can gleam from the last point in the CIA charter you listed, that this was "covert" in the sense that it was an invisable and secret attack.
