He was most probably teaching techniques found in a 1963 torture manual, but much that he taught went beyond the pages of this deadly volume. He was also a close friend of Jim Jones. read more

What the Election Taught Me

By: Patrick Britton | 2010-04-04 | Politics
Enough time has passed since the dust settled after the Presidential elections for me to ponder the crazy events that unfolded. It seems like it was just yesterday that the primary races were only getting started. The interesting note for me is that I started blogging around that same time. A lot has happened to me in that short period of time. I've become a better writer, a much more rounded conservative and someone who really has a handle on what he believes.

Can we agree that charisma is a variable in leadership that is of necessity in order to lead? If charisma can be taught as part of the curriculum to pass a leadership test, how do we teach a naturally born introvert who is a genius that he must be more charismatic in order for that person to be better rounded as a leader. In my view one can teach charismatic leadership but with certain limitations and certain expectations with certain expected outcomes. read more

By: Robert Crane | 2010-04-03 | News and society
Any democracy that employs acts of torture to purportedly protect its freedoms immediately diminishes its moral imperative, and therefore, all indulgences in such must be eliminated as a matter of ethical principle. If all I have is 24 hours to stop the certainty of a heinous act against innocents and I have an identified perpetrator in my clutches, I would use any means necessary, no matter how distasteful or perverse in any other circumstance, to obtain information that might derail the inevitable, even if I fail in so doing. Two seemingly conflicting beliefs. read more
