[QUOTE="ValhallaGH, post: 3249257, member: 41187"] Lawful Evil if they use the torture, Lawful Neutral at best. They have a code, and they follow it without deviation. That code is to do the most good, regardless of the means. The problem is that the ends never, ever, justify the means because means are beyond your control. The only good is in the means because means are the only things an individual ever controls. Ends are a guess, an estimate, and they rarely go according to plan; means are a choice and the choice of means is where the difference between good and evil truly lays. Choosing to use evil means, such as torture, assassination and harming innocent bystanders with the hope of affecting the guilty, is the choice of evil people. No matter what goals they have, their means are evil and a person that consistently chooses evil means is an evil person. As the saying goes, "The road to Hell is paved with good intentions."
