Um. I evaluate the possible justifications for an action and determine if there is enough justification. The same way everyone else arrives at their conclusions.
I don't believe the ends always justify the means. I'm really not getting how you consider the two positions similar. I'm saying that if, for instance, a politician wanted to ban the death penalty because Zorkon the Space God decreed it be removed, I would still support such a ban because I think there is good reason to ban the death penalty. The politician's motivation makes little difference, if any at all.
