LINK: Norm notices a big shift in meaning on behalf of some anti-war types:
"Note well the phrase 'by whatever means they find necessary'. Not even 'whatever means necessary', which would allow the Stoppers the getout of to-ing and fro-ing about whether some particular brutality - the blowing up of children, the decapitation of hostages - was in fact necessary to secure such ends. No, just whatever means."
"Thou shalt not extinguish thine anger, but shall master it,
that thy conscience may not be blunted by adjustment
to wrong causes."
-The Dutch Ten Commandments to Foil the Nazis
