The a'dam and leashing of channelers does not change the fact that the OP can be misued...

Unless you can prove that damane will become power hungry megalomaniacs if left free, leashing them serves no purpose.
The way to handle mass murderers is not to control their ability to mass murder. It is to remove that ability completely.
If the Seanchan genuinely believe that the OP taints people who wield it, they should kill all channelers. Harnessing the channelers ability merely alters who can misuse the power. How is that a solution to the problem?
What if the White Tower created a Senachan like state in the Westlands? Ruthlessly killed all opposition, used the Power in war, used their extensive system of eyes and ears to deliver swift retribution and forced every girl who could channel to join the White Tower?
Some of that already happens, and you have harshly criticized the Tower for it. But somehow, when it is non channelers who end up wielding the Power for their purposes, its alright?
This is ridiculous hypocrisy on your part.

Not at all. Their position is perfectly justified by their experiences.

Which is why people should NOT be MORE angered toward Seanchan than toward WT.

And a generation later, the same old problem arises. New channelers, with no one to stop them.
