If I'm understanding correctly, you are saying that it may be OK to break laws in search of a greater good while later punishment for that action may be necessary?
In other words, the end justifies the means?
This goes against all that is keeping us from becoming just another banana republic where revolution and assassination replaces the rule of law and the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

Bush appears to be a pious hypocrite, the worst kind of person to be in power in a democracy. His term should live in infamy.
