made a change to the wiki page but didn't see a place to put my citations...so here they are:

Cohen, Marshall. "Political Action: The Problem of Dirty Hands." War and Moral Responsibility. Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1974

Lafollette, Hugh . Ethins in Practice. London: Blackwell, 2002.

Without citation I feel the position put forth is controversial, POV and offensive to a person with autism. I personally have aspergers syndrome and do not feel that this has done anything to damage my cunning, I realize that it seems a funny thing to be offended about as it seems to be a negative trait. But cleverness and cunning are directly connected to intelligence, and an ability to see the world as it is rather than how it ought to be. If there is a direct correlation cite it please.

NOTE: This article needs some serious, serious help. Hell, I almost want to start from scratch.

In the end, all anyone can ever do is "strive to make an informed decision based on the best evidence, and then act accordingly, even though the best evidence will never guarantee certainty."
