Think about torture- a lightworker would be against torture solely on principle. A darkworker wouldn't give a damn. In fact, the darkworker would use it without hesitation if it were the most effective way to get information. However, if you take modern sensibilities into account, allowing torture would be political suicide. Not only that, you'd be giving your enemy propaganda they can use to recruit more people to their cause. Avoiding torture is the most prudent move.
To break it down, thinking and acting tactically isn't much different than "doing the right thing". And that's assuming the latter doesn't give the darkworker warm fuzzies. They're still human, they're not immune to that kind of thing, it's just that what you get out of it isn't nearly as important as the fact that they initiated it.
That's not to say there are no differences. If nobody will know what he does and the stakes are high the darkworker won't pull any punches whereas the lightworker will still restrain himself. Basically if you wanna see what someone truly is apply some pressure and burn the law book.
