James Bond assassinates people all the damn time.  That's what "killing 
in the course of spy work" is, unless you consider him a soldier 
fighting a war, which he's not, because Britain doesn't declare war on 
the people he's killing.

In the opening of Die Another Day, he's in South Korea pretending to be 
an arms merchant and the bad guys use face recognition technology to 
check his identity.  He's talking to the negotiator and the exchange 
between the two intelligence people a bit to the side goes something 
like this:

Intelligence Operative A: "So who is he really, then?"
Intelligence Operative B: "His name is James Bond; he's a British assassin."

My favorite part of that movie.  I love it that they actually came out 
and said it bluntly like that.
