Genuinely asking here: do you think the word "illegal" means wrong?

By definition, if a sovereign government decides it's allowed to do something, it's not illegal. You could say it's unethical (though I'm not sure why you would), but you can't say it's illegal.

    ...wat? Why would that be illegal?
