"Imagine a situation where killing one person is *guaranteed* to save the lives of ten thousand. The person has done nothing wrong. The killing will be quick, and after the fact the 10 thousand lives saved will be widely acknowledged as having been the work of killing the one person. Is it moral to kill in this situation?"

I believe that the current administration would ultimately answer yes to this question.

Well, they do pretend to be followers of a guy that got himself nailed to a tree to, basically, accomplish the same thing for everybody, not just 10 thousand people.
Too bad they don't actually pay attention to anything this character actually did or said. But yes, they think it's good (for someone not them) to be a martyr and thus ok (for them) to make martyrs.
