Would it be moral for a CIA operative to run a successful terrorist attack (with definite casualties) in order to be vetted into the top leadership of a major terrorist network?
Sacrificing a few to potentially save many? Catching the criminal by becoming criminal? How sacred is the law?
This is similar to Bonhoeffer's moral dilemma with regard to Hitler. Is murder still a sin if it is done to save?
