To be more specific about what I mean by "wrong", I wanted to use some term you came up with-moral something or other, I think. I thought you mentioned it in "Against His Own SHIELD" but I couldn't find it. Anyway, it feels like Bad Guy Stuff. Part of me thinks I'm being too picky-you can't mention all the asterisks all the time, you'd never get anything done and people wouldn't know what was important. I should know*. But this... We're better than this. We shouldn't have to gloss over the doubts in one guy's story, no matter how important, because what happened to him before his death was wrong. And it was equally wrong when it was done to people who weren't famous or smart or possibly suicides. Where are their pardons? I know that a story about one person is easier to sell. That doesn't mean I have to like it.
*I spent my childhood with "you didn't mention this barely-relevant exception/detail/asterisk. Your argument is therefore invalid and nothing you say thereafter matters." as a standard make-the-kid-shut-up tactic.
