Since even during a Jhereg reign, the Guard is presumably still used as a tool to enforce the law, whatever that law may be, then it seems likely the moral objection is no greater during a Jhereg reign than at any other time. The 'dishonorable' (i.e. illicit) part of the Jhereg operations are still going to be handled by someone other than the Jhereg Guard.
Speaking of the Jhereg Guard (and Phoenix Guard and Athyra Guard and so 
forth), I could not help but notice in Hawk that the Phoenix Guard were 
referred to as the Imperial Guard.   Zerika is still Empress and the 
guardsmen still wear gold cloaks, but they were not referred to as the 
Phoenix Guard. Did anyone else notice this and, if so, what do you think 
might be the reason?
