I'm not saying all Aes Sedai are mass murderers. I'm saying Aes Sedai are -also- capable of 'extremely cruel or wicked' deeds (to prisoners or civilians in very chaotic times). And that certainly not all those acts are punished in the slightest or punished in a matter that fits with the deeds commited.

It's not a contest to decide which is worse. Raping a child, severely torturing someone for days without end and putting him in a cube or killing 20 people? All are atrocious deeds; Horrifying deeds of extreme cruelty against prisoners or civilians in 'troubled times' (to put it mildly).

Just because you're only looking for a another mass murder don't make my examples any less atrocious. Or any less punished by bystanders of the same organisation who should -and do- know better.
