In one's life there may come a moment when one has to put one's principles to the test and realize that there are some moral absolutes and that the end justifies the means isn't a valid method of moral reasoning.

She now faces up to two years in prison for breaking the official secrets act. Read about it in this NY Times article or at commondreams.org.
