This past fall, Dean of West Point, Brigadier General Patrick Finnegan, along with military and FBI interrogators and representatives of Human Rights First, met with the team behind the hit Fox TV show "24" to ask them to stop using torture, because American soldiers were copying the show's tactics. We speak with two of the delegation's members -- former Army interrogator Tony Lagouranis and David Danzig of Human Rights First.

"Humans have spent 99 percent of our developmental time in the wild kingdom, which tutored us in what Rob Kall calls bottom-up values?small, local, interdependent, respectful, egalitarian and decentralized -- and which the world desperately needs in order to balance out some of the darker impulses of top-down values. His faith that bottom-up values represent a critical re-balancing act for humanity, if not an outright better mousetrap, is compelling and hard-won, and I offer him a high-five for his courageous inquiry into the deep wisdom inherent in our age-old intimacy with natural rhythms, native intelligences, and interconnectedness."
