I hadn't put thought into it before, but all the discussion in this thread has really lowered by opinion of the DC. Particularly this. Having Col. West be the assassin makes absolutely no sense and is outright stupid. The intent was to have a Klingon assassinate the Federation President in order to stop the peace agreement - why not have an actual Klingon, one of Chang's men, carry out the assassination?
With Col. West doing it, the entire conspiracy gets exposed should he get caught or killed in the attempt. If they just had a Klingon do it, even if he failed the attempt and was caught the facade could still hold.
