"Sisko asks Garak to help him get the Romulans to join the war against the Dominion."
Very solid episode. So Sisko is very concerned over the war with the Dominion and he wants to get the Romulans to side with the Federation. Him and Garak try to find documentation proving that the Dominion is a threat to the Romulans but they cant find one. Much to Sisko's disapproval they decide to break a top notch forger named Tolar out of a Klingon prison and use him to create fake documents. Tolar is a complete nut case, but he does eventually complete his task.
The Romulan commander easily figures out that it's a fake document. Sisko is now concerned that his plan has back fired and the Romulans will now side with the Dominion. Meanwhile though, Garak kills Tolar to keep him from talking and he also plants a bomb on the Romulan ship (but makes it look like the Dominion did it). This ploy works and the Romulans side with the Federation. Sisko laments that Garak was right, even though it did cost two lives and his own self respect, it could save millions. At the end Sisko erases all of his Captains Logs concerning this situation. Strange how it's so easy to erase official Starfleet logs????

It does seem like Captain's Logs should be backed up somewhere. Anyway, this was a cool episode.
I just reread my comment, and here's my comment on my comment:
I wonder if Sisko's captain's logs ever backed up... his toilet.
