But the post talks about "fair" vs. "unfair" not "good" vs "bad". And if you want to say an Action is fair for us but unfair for them, you would need additional rules to distinguish between the Actions in respect to the Actors. Otherwise, it would indeed be hypocrisy. (Not that it matters too much, this is not sports.)
That's a really great point. I agree that the fair versus unfair distinction does imply a universally shared rubric. However... I'm not sure if the fairness of it was actually ever asserted by the government one way or another - from what I've heard, they've only ever asserted the good or badness of it. So I still suspect that the post may be missing the real hole in the opponent's armor and instead attacking a strawman.
