Alla:

Could you please show me some canon support for idea that Ministry 
called " Unforgivables" as such. The way I see it it is some kind of 
common tradition, which existed in WW from who knows how long time 
ago (just speculating of course, but not remembering anything 
definite in the books to the contrary)

I see not performing " Unforgivables" as supporting some kind of
moral 
law, spiritual law. 

As to not supporting  the idea  that AK tears your soul, I see all
HBP 
as supporting it, because I see horcruxes story as metaphor for " 
murder is bad for your soul".
And NO, blasting DD of the tower with ANY kind of spell is definitely 
NOT OK in my book, so not OK.


JMO,
Alla.
