Spy Games
This weekend I saw the movie Spy Game which, to be honest, was quite awesome. As I watched, however, I pondered the morality, or more rightly the immorality, of all the various killings that were going on, the bombings, the "realpolitik", and began to consider whether a Catholic could really participate well in an organization that engaged in such activities as the CIA.
I mean, in a certain sense what's going on is war, and soldiers are valid targets. However, the lying, the constant lying, and the "side effects" of their fights are quite disturbing. Thoughts?
