I can't be on for too long, but I'll offer my opinion.

Firstly, there's a major problem with this. This is actually a case of pragmatic villainy, which isn't really a redeeming trait. He explicitly states he's not above it, and considering all the rest of the bottom of the barrel deeds he does, it's not hard to believe. And though he does tell the truth while saying so, that's a pretty miniscule quality to be measuing. If he has a sense of honor, it's pretty deluded; the man's above propaganda and lies (for the most part), but he's not behind using children as shields. I'll assume this quality is book-exclusive, and that version's certainly a Monster- there's far too many conflicting things to the character to really assert that as a good thing, especially as to why he keeps his word and what he would do in other circumstances.
