I think this kind of moral highhorsery is no longer reasonable when facing a malicious adversary that commands multiple orders of magnitude more resources. This is more of an "anything goes" territory, merited by the instinct of self-preservation.

I'd argue that the word "murder" doesn't really apply here -- the thing in a suit that morning was not a human being, it was some kind of a carnivorous ghoul, a biological hybrid of ruthless corporate profit-seeking mandate and what used to be a person long time ago.
