When the romulan senator Vreenak sees through the deception and Garak has him murdered to blame it on the Dominion Sisko decides to hide it, considering the compromise worth the lives saved.
- While well-intentioned he allows Bashir and O'Brien to use an illegal romulan mind probing device on Luther Sloan which he himself acknowledges is illegal and unethical.
