Ah, I just knew I was going to get this kind of grief after posting my 
note. I've now seen the programme, and it's pretty good, although (as 
these things always are) somewhat expensive of class time if intended for 
an in-class showing.

One nice touch. Zimbardo recalls how Milgram thanked him for carrying out 
the prison experiment, because at last there was someone else to share 
the heat for carrying out such an unethical study. 

My copy includes the main event, plus an hour of discussion with military 
and non-military authorities, including the woman who was in charge of 
Abu Ghraib at the time of the prisoner tortures.  She was, not 
unexpectedly, rather defensive.  The discussion is probably of more 
interest to Canadians.   At no extra charge my taping also includes two 
news breaks of the tragedy unfolding at Dawson College in Montreal, a 
grim reminder that we should be less smug about our supposedly non-
violent Canadian culture. 

Tell you what, Annette. If you really want it, I'll send it over to you, 
and you can send it on to the first person who asks you for it, and so 
on.  That way you get to share the grief. Just tell me where to send it.
