If you believe that C as a janitor has very low culpability for the crimes of the organization then yes it is unfair to have C in particular tortured and murdered. <BR/><BR/>If you believe C has total culpability for the evil actions of the organization then it may still be unfair to have him tortured and killed if you knew the outcome would be death. This would mean that you have punished C yourself and that violates a right to due process. <BR/><BR/>I think to make it okay that C is tortured and killed you need to lack the knowledge that he would be killed as a result of your misdirection and you also need to believe that C's torture and death was a legitimate instance of punishment for his moral culpability.The Gaucho Politicohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12842680553585405562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7321349.post-3866215431632563092009-04-13T10:12:00.000-07:002009-04-13T10:12:00.000-07:00This sounds suspiciously like something from TV th...This sounds suspiciously like something from TV that I once watched...Pope Incontinentius XIIIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08841765401787854137noreply@blogger.com
