I would add the following:
-- Moggy, she could've just kill Elayne and Nynaeve instead of playing with them in Tanchico.
-- Aran'gar, s/he could've kill bunch of good guys in the camp easily, starting with Egwene.
-- Ishamael, he could've kill Mat and Perrin as soon as he figured out who the Dragon Reborn is. Granted, he didn't have them "captive", but at least he should've done the orders to kill them much much earlier, not in KoD.
-- Asmodean, he could've killed Mat, Lan or Moiraine much earlier in the Waste.
-- same goes to Lanfear, she had plenty of opportunities to level out the field on the good guys side.
Granted, that this is not exactly the point Cannoli was making, but in terms of "morons" among Forsaken - pretty much all of them.
when she first met elayne and nynaeve in tanchico she took them for half trained (in nynaeve's case blocked) meddling aes sedai. she couldn't have known they would be such a thorn and such a force for the Light in the upcoming books. if she just went around killing every AS she came across she would be drawing a lot of unnecessary attention upon herself
aran'gar was on her second chance and she was in the rebel camp for a reason. she accomplished her mission i think if she had defied orders and slaughtered the camp not only was she not guaranteed escape but she most certainly would not have escaped punishment from the DO
asmodean had a plan, he needed to keep his cover to get the CK
lanfear was a loser

Although I don't tend to agree with Cannoli, and he can be rude... he's certainly not moronic. *NM*

This was incredibly rude. Cadsuane would slap you for that.

Well it's not hypocritical for people who have called Cannoli for the same in the past

I wouldn't let it bother me. And I wouldn't respond with a curse word to try and prove a point.

Cannoli has riled me up with apparent dismissiveness and bile, but he's clearly not a moron. *NM*

And now, I hope that Cannoli has MPD and malekithe is his non-dominant alternate personality. The
