I understand you're not advocating it generally, but "The ends justifies the means" is only ever rolled out as an excuse by those that agree with the outcome. It appears to me that mostly those are also the people with more power to control the outcome. I may well be blinkered here. Just because we (both) might agree the outcome is a net benefit, doesn't make it less of a concern. For example, I'd love to see the collapse of Murdoch's influence around the world, but I'd hope it comes from a base of people understanding the issues and taking action (however unlikely) rather than an individual blessed with power taking it into their own hands. Yep, I know how naïve that is.
