The Lucifer Effect

More psychology.

A book called The Lucifer Effect is getting hyped at the moment. It concerns itself with an old story, the ability of "good" people to become"evil" if circumstances permit. The authors goes beyond the story and sets up the circumstances, with predictable results.

The war against terror is couched in terms of good and evil. Does this muddy the waters?
