This is really interesting as it starts to bring up"the ends justifies the means" type of argument. Also, I feel it's heading into "slippery slope" territory of double standards.

For example: Would we find it ok if Bush suspended habeas corpus in the interest of "national security"? Would he then become one of the greats years from now? It's probably too soon to tell, one of the inate problems with the study of history.
