The Plaid Adder's torture piece - sad optimism [View All]

[tomreedtoon]

It was sad to read the Plaid Adder's piece about the torture of Iraqis. She even quoted the Stanford Prison Experiment and didn't really understand what it meant.

She never learned the lesson that most of us learned at about eight years old; people are intrinsically evil and cruel. The only thing that keeps them from being that way are moral codes and law, and those don't always work. I'll guess that she never read "Lord of the Flies" either.
