I think you're confusing support for Daenerys's actions as a ruler within the fucked up moral framework of medieval society with actual condoning of her actions from a moral standpoint.

I mean in the North your lord can decide within fairness that you are disloyal and behead you. We're expected to view that as extremely honorable, in-universe. I feel that Jaime would have been executed as a POW if they didnt need him as a bargaining chip even before Cat freed him. I don't think keeping prisoners in the series is about humane conditions.

We are repeatedly shown that trials are complete farces either through lords just wanting you dead or, my favorite, getting two completely unrelated people to fight to the death to decide the outcome.

So if Dany's biggest flaw is that she is working within the established system of violence to try and obtain justice, I maintain that she really wasn't any worse and in some respects much better than other rulers. Until recently, obviously.
