When you read about Cromwell's contempt for human life as whole - massacre of Drogheda, treatment of the Levellers etc, the fact that he "left the fate of these poor souls in the hands of others" doesn't really excuse him.
He created the political agenda for such things to happen and we well know even in the 20th century what that could lead to.
Baldwin's Law carefully circumnavigated there...
