Basically, calling something a "necessary evil" is one's way of rationalizing the act of doing something unacceptable/evil by saying that it is necessary.

It could also mean something that is absolutely necessary to a country but in a sense it is evil.(truth be told, everything's evil in some sense except for god.)
