As Jim Balter said, not "good" by your standards (and that's the point).
Remember we're not dealing with a particular subjective moral viewpoint (i.e.,
yours) on what is defined as "good".  Though they may never use the actual
word, their position on their own morality is surely that the things they
do are "good" from their perspective, from within their morality.  Within
any "society", the moral code, whatever it is, is deemed to be "good".
