Wow, that goes right back to Lindsey's "You can't play their game, you have to make them play yours," doesn't it?
I thought they were going to play this out a little more with Knox, but I've known a few scientists who were doing research for the gov't and had some ethical qualms about whether or not they should just regard it as pure research, or ask questions about what kinds of applications it might be used in (cf Fred's "Do we even have an antidote division?" ((paraphrasing)) ).
