The message I got there was that sometimes you have to trust the people you placed in power to "do the right thing" with potentially dangerous technology in fairly desperate times when lots of lives hang in the balance. Also, that true leaders are willing to be the "bad guy" as regards popular opinion in order to "do the right thing"! Like others, I could scarcely believe this was the intended message in a major, Hollywood blockbuster.
