   Yes, but how can you tell?

   Google corporate is now at least saying the right things about the incident:

   We were mortified to learn…. …and as soon as we have all the facts, we’ll be taking the appropriate action with the people involved.

   I’ll bet that when all of the facts are shaken out of the tree it will be found that some over-zealous area manager waaaay overstepped their authority to do this. It is so egregious, that I cannot believe for a minute (a second, perhaps) that the Google corporate entity would support it. No doubts, heads will fall, people will be fired, and the legal department will have more work to do because some pinhead was, well, a pinhead…

   Or, what you say will all happen to the designated “in case we are found out” scapegoats.

   As the linked op-ed points out, killing someone is pretty dehumanizing in itself.

   Cognitive dissonance. It has been known for ages that soldiers dehumanize the enemy or go mad.

   You put a lot of young men bearing incredibly powerful weapons into a conflict and wonder that we get “regrettable” incidents? Get real Ms. Clinton.
