At the risk of being called snarky...

So this guy got caught shoplifting... but was released without charge when he offered this defense: "Sure, it's illegal, but look at all the great stuff I got!"

Wait! No! I got that wrong...

It wasn't shoplifting... He got caught torturing prisoners! Guess that defense works for war crimes.

Wasn't he the same guy who was criticizing liberals for situational morality?
