Good episode, especially the opening and the development of Vorta and Jem'Hadar. Not quite sure how Ensign Gordon managed to die given superior position and easy targets.
Not sure if the reason is covered in a previous episode, but I wonder why phasers couldn't be set to a high stun setting and then sedating the disabled soldiers to carry out Sisko's plan.
Also was the crew really that small on the crashed ship that the federation captured? If a lot of folks drowned it seems unusual that there was little remorse if any, and if all hands survived why was a cadet on such a crucial mission and why such a skeleton crew?
Otherwise enjoyed this episode, the protest hanging was a good moment for Kira's progression.
