Surely there's more to the fundamental ethics of the Whitecloaks than killing Aes Sedai.
Surely there is, but Jordan doesn't really delve into it. They hate witches and go around intimidating people to catch "Darkfriends," freely applying torture and execution. Sure, there's that ascetic tome by the founder Galad reads, but anyone with a brain (and who grew up in court, probably hearing quite a bit about WCs) can tell it doesn't have much relevance to the modern Whitecloak.

Re: The one known rapist was, by his own admission, committing a crime against their standards. moratcorlm - 21/10/2010 07:55:06 PM 1081 Views
And there is no indication of how far that went. Cannoli - 23/10/2010 03:12:42 PM 939 Views
"The question" as opposed to "questioning" moratcorlm - 24/10/2010 06:21:43 PM 1001 Views

Did you forget the very first PoV Darkfriend in the series? Cannoli - 23/10/2010 03:27:25 PM 1093 Views
Difference being the whitecloaks who were ordered to do it were not DFs. All the AS evil deeds darius_sedai - 23/10/2010 07:55:23 PM 1093 Views
So similar scenes in the Cairhienin civil war were all the work of Darkfriends? Cannoli - 25/10/2010 02:25:57 AM 1030 Views
Please provide an example of a DF AS committing an atrocity and not being punished by the Tower darius_sedai - 25/10/2010 03:34:46 AM 995 Views

No. I'm pointing out you are under the delusion that AS pay for their atrocities. Mik - 28/10/2010 09:16:38 AM 956 Views
okay, so AS never Still and execute AS for doing stuff ... have you read the series? darius_sedai - 28/10/2010 05:20:28 PM 982 Views
That doesn't make the -unpunished- atrocities disappear, you know. Your point is lame AND moot. Mik - 28/10/2010 07:07:27 PM 1049 Views

Their implicit role in the genocide of Manetheren was probable their greatest atrocity *NM* Knightscape - 26/10/2010 03:01:01 AM 591 Views
