And it needs to be tested in light of the end as well. In this case, I believe that the means did justify the ends.

He was 3 decades ahead of McNamera with that news, and yes he helped save lives. Proof of his effectiveness was the fact that he made Nixon's Enemy List. He must have been doing something right. Orca
