Thomas Ferebee, the bombardier, may disagree with your idea that Tibbets was the 'trigger man'.

Anyways, by your definition, just about everyone who took part in WWII is guilty of mass-murder of civilians. A large amount of the war involved crushing your opponent into submission.

And "premeditated mass-murder" is quite a funny spin on the word "war".
