      BS. A recurring theme of DS9 was that the federation principles only exist because in times of crisis there are people willing to do what must be done to prevent annihilation.

      Both Ross and Sisco did fucked up shit. They didn’t do it because they wanted to, or because they deluded themselves into thinking they had the moral high ground. They knowingly crossed lines they swore they would never cross because that’s what they felt they needed to do to ensure the safety of their people.

      They weren’t wrong.

      Nothing Ross did when working with Section 31 was worse than what Sisco did during the events of In the Pale Moonlight. We just didn’t get a POV entry of Ross monologuing about how he hates what he’s becoming, but at the end of the day he can live with it.
