o cálculo imoral

Mr. Obama is the liberal law professor who campaigned against the Iraq war and torture, and then insisted on approving every new name on an expanding “kill list,” poring over terrorist suspects’ biographies on what one official calls the macabre “baseball cards” of an unconventional war. When a rare opportunity for a drone strike at a top terrorist arises — but his family is with him — it is the president who has reserved to himself the final moral calculation.

PS: O que dirá Obama à família quando o chamam para decidir sobre os ataques de drones? "Just gimme a sec, I have to do some moral math".
