...living." There are often specific times of the night or day when victims are picked up by their torturer-interrogators. The prisoner is usually hooded or blindfolded. Sessions often begin quietly; physical torture starts only after the interrogator has built himself up to a feigned or genuine anger, which Andrew Blane of Amnesty International calls "an emotional state of furious self-righteousness." Some Chilean prisoners have reported torturers calling a prisoner to an interrogation session with the phrase "It's time to go to work."

Instead of expressing anger, a Dani tribesman usually moves away from an offending situation. Wars, according to Heider, have the emotional content of deer hunts in America. The warriors chat for a long while, fight for an hour, then fall back for more conversation. Revenge and anger rarely play a role-the Dani simply want to placate their ghosts and end the fighting as quickly as possible. Their only real interest seems...
