DILEMMAS


"Sometimes it's a super clean operation. No one was hurt except the terrorists. You say, 'okay, I made a decision, and X number of people were killed. They were definitely about to launch a big attack.' Yet you still say, 'there's something unnatural about it.' What's unnatural is the power you have to take three people, terrorists, and take their lives in an instant."


Yuval Diskin, Head of Shin Bet (2005-2011)
From The Gatekeepers
