A leader ordering murder is both a murderer and someone ordering murderer. Someone fulfilling that order is a murderer. Usually, the general use of language tries to hide this. Presidents "order killings", and people "pull the trigger, but the orders come from elsewhere". Nobody involved feels like a murderer, opposed to all of them.
