Mac was a utilitarian - Ends justify Means
His advice to the prince was to lie and do whatever is necessary, situation-ethics.
Ron Paul noted the Neoconservatives subscribe to this ethos. Hence you can't believe a word they say. Like Soviets or Nazis, they will justify their lies - the means to their ends.
