And remember, when I say pull the trigger...I mean on the explosive device, blowing the car up and killing all occupants, including the pregnant wife. Does that clarification change any of the yes'?

Not for me. If I'm there to do that job, I have to complete the objective.

No. I'm already of the mind to do such a thing or I wouldn't be in the CIA.

I couldnt tell you if I would or not because I am a trained killer and sworn to secrecy, I could tell you but then I'd have to kill you.

I'd tell ya but then...

If the order is to kill, you kill. You follow your orders.

Like Clyde said, if I am sitting in the position laid out by this premise, I have already been trained and demonstrated the ability to suppress whatever moral dilemma may arise.

Where do I sign up.

I couldn't do it. Maybe that makes me a fool or even a coward.

 

But I'm neither conditioned nor trained to think that way.

 

Perhaps if I were an experienced assassin, I would be able to.

 

I do the best I can with what I know. I couldn't press the button.

Yes, and if I'm that good to a CIA sniper, I'm good enough for a headshot and not eliminate the wife.

 

I think with that intel, that is what I'd try before planting the ED.

There's a little bit of avoiding the question. There's no third way here. You're either letting him go, or you're killing a woman and her unborn child to get him.

There's always friendly casualties at war....I would push it.

Correct...no option C. The explosive device is the way this is going to go down in this scenario.

We answered "yes" in World War II with the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The innocent die with the bad more often than people think.

We answered "yes" in World War II with the bombing of Tokyo and Nagasaki. I imagine the innocent die with the bad more often than people think.

 

And that very well ties in with a follow-up scenario I have, which I will post a little later.
