Ianto murders women. He hasn't here yet, but he will. So he's not really in any place to stand on a high horse and tell Jack how wrong killing people is. He wouldn't regardless. He knows what Torchwood does. They make the touch decisions, and Ianto understands that. He's made tough decisions. When Jack sacrificed the girl to the Fairies, Ianto was the only one who stood by his side. Jack did what he needed to protect the rest of the world.
Even though Ianto knows everytime he commits a heinous act against someone innocent in the pursuit of freedom for the rest of the world, it kills something inside Jack. He wonders how much humanity is even left in the other man. He only looks content when he's asleep...and that's rare.
"I don't think I can judge whether or not it's right. I wasn't there," he finally says, still standing, palms planted firmly on Jack's desk. He glances down at those delicate fingers again. He hates them still. "Did you do it because you thought it was right? No matter what Torchwood did, no matter how...disturbing, we always did it because it had to be done."
