And from darkness comes a ray of light --- and hope. nytimes.com >>...reports of a handful of soldiers who refused to take part bring to light a behavior psychologists find even more puzzling: disobedience. Maj. Gen. Antonio M. Taguba praised the actions of three men who tried to stop the mistreatment. They are nowhere to be seen in the portraits of brutality that have touched off outrage around the world. ...psychologists have found that a certain percentage of people simply refuse to give in to pressure — by authorities or by peers — if they feel certain actions are wrong. The men ... dissented despite the threat of being ridiculed or even court-martialed for not following orders.
