I agree with that, however, what I think outrages many people (including me) is that the situation was handled in a one-sided manner. There were some very serious questions that did not get a hearing so it seems that "the fix was in." It is a very serious situation when life or death decisions are handled in such a subjective manner. Rather than clarifying the issue of what is or is not acceptable in a civilized society it seems like the line has been blurred even more and that is dangerous.
