Booth's Escape Route

[Laurie Verge]

I guess we females are sticking together on this one. As I have announced before, I was raised military and think in military terms. The object is to win a battle and ultimately the war. Call me a pragmatist, but the ends justify the means in such a situation. That does not make a soldier fighting for a cause a cold-blooded killer. The Ted Bundys of the world are cold-blooded killers to me.

As far as Booth and his cabal and many others at that specific time, the war's objective had not yet been met. The thought of a large, centralized government that usurped the rights of civilians was still a threat -- my personal opinion is that the disarray of that government was the primary target, not just the men at the top.
