Yes it is. Insofar as morality is grounded in the very nature and will of God, evil is any want of conformity to the nature and will of God. Therefore, to say that God can do evil is to utter a meaningless logical contradiction, that God can fail to conform to his own nature and will (i.e., that A can be not-A).
