Food for thought: if those two are the first of their respective races to serve in the Citadel, why were they chosen in the first place? Why did the turians choose the baddest egg amongst their ranks and ranks of fine gentle-turian officers? How did Harkin got chosen amongst those fine gentle-human ranks that boast personages like Anderson, Hackett, Kaidan, Ashley, even Shepard?

Maybe it's the very nature of their work that corrupted them. The SPECTRE is indeed given a free rein in their operations. They have a "licence to kill", with a nod to the 00 agents of the James Bond world. The policing of the Wards are not unlike policing New York City, at least that's what Bailey said. Making a prisoner screams a little is not an uncommon practice within human-led C-Sec. Those circumstances do not help bring about good morality within the persons with power.
