Today's NY TIMES uses the phrase the use of "ethics as a weapon" to refer to Newt Gingrich's tactics (e.g., to attack Jim Wright, the House Speaker, as corrupt so that Gingrich's own version of corruption could rise to the top). I guess almost anything can be weaponized. After all, the US uses "human rights" as a weapon (against, for example, Milosevic's Serbia while leaving the contemporary Croatia alone).
