A logline is a brief statement of? a plot.? The Greek philosopher Aristotle defined a plot in terms of a protagonist pursuing a singular objective goal.? Not two, or three goals — but one overarching goal.? And that has been the working convention in Western drama ever since.
So the logline needs to be reworked to define one — and only one –? overarching objective.? Any other goal the protagonist has in the plot is a sub-goal, a milestone necessary to accomplishing the overarching objective goal.? And again, a logline is only concerned wit the overarching objective goal — not any of the sub-goals.

The logline is listed as an historical genre story.? In historical genre stories, the plot is based upon or inspired by real events, by real people.
Did US agents actually blackmail a soldier to assassinate anti-war celebrities? (And that is the more relevant way of tagging the targets. The context of the story world is the Vietnam war . These celebrities weren’t just anti-establishment, they were antiwar.)? And what kind of “agents” were they, FBI , CIA or…?
If the story is not founded upon an actual historical character and incident, then it should be listed in another (fictional) genre category such as drama or action.
And why would the government guys have to resort to blackmailing someone (a negative incentive)? when there were plenty of gungho, pro-war soldiers who would be all to willing (positive? incentive) to target anti-war celebrities?? And after all, the carrot is a more effective and reliable incentive than a stick.
