rodchucker,
Yeah I agree that cannibalism pretty much sums up the idea they had.You're right as well about forgetting or forgiving mainly because he doesn't regret anything.
After reading the article all I could think of was the trials in Nuremberg.
No regret or repentance other than telling us he was happy it didn't happen but still it was a great idea.
In other words he would still do the same thing again.
