Who does Section 31 have to justify anything to?

The Feddies believe they can control the Flood, and Section 31 is going to use them in targeted releases against the enemies of the Federation.

My biggest problem with Star Trek phasers is that they aren't governed by science. They're governed by plot. If the writer wants to use phasers as the cool toy to overcome a challenge, he just writes in the capability without any thought to what's come before.
