True, at that point she was essentially a feral animal.

So, yeah: it's not some Shadow-only thing - as such. It could have to do with being "steeped in evil" so that the person's culture could be suppressed (which we know is what the 13x13 trick does, to an extent).
It's been a while, but IIRC she veils after Rand calls out to her and recognizing him restores her awareness of her self. Unless they're all channelers (or Sheriam lied, which is certainly possible) it can't be a 13X13 thing. I'm at a bit of a loss to explain what they are unless the DO has been seizing and turning every male Aiel who runs north to "slay Sightblinder" when he learns he can channel. I don't really think they'd kill unveiled even then, but: Aiel Dreadlords; what a lovely thought....

The Aiel at the end are Aiel because they have veils (which they didn't replace before killing).

Liah didn't veil in Aridhol when she killed some Trollocs.

There's actually a pretty good chance they aren't channelers, I think.

Whoever she had been, she was surely no Aiel, not with that pale skin and /those dark eyes./

The point is it doesn't look like an Aiel

Perhaps the black eyes are due to something akin to the saa? *NM*

Makes sense if they're Dreadlords, though, in a way, that would be disappointing.

There's no evidence to that effect; on what do you base that statement?

I suppose that means the guys who stabbed Demira in Caemlyn were Aiel too

If these guys were trying to make it look like a failed AIel killing, they suck at it.
