How does Hamlet justify his counterfeit command that Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are to be murdered by the English?
"They made love to this employment." Hamlet says that R & G chose to be spies, so he is not responsible if they meet a spy's death. It's a bit of sophistry, really, since even were that true, Hamlet didn't have to add "no shriving time allowed" so their souls would have to go to Purgatory rather than Heaven.

By sheer luck and nosiness.

Fortunately he has the equipment and skill to forge a new set of orders in which Rosencrantz and Guildenstern go to the chop in his place. He is also extremely lucky in that pirates attack and he ends up on the pirate ship, and the pirates agree to return him to Denmark.

Hamlet fakes death warrants for Ros and Guil which are acted on by the King of England. Hamlet justifies this by saying that they were spies and got what they deserved, especially as this was the death which Claudius had planned for Hamlet with Ros and Guil's help. "They did make love to this employment" says Hamlet. Horatio is not wholly convinced, especially since R and G probably had no idea what their warrant said (it was sealed, remember). "So Rosencrantz and Guildenstern go to it" says Horatio, a bit disgusted by Hamlet's callousness.
