I read child psychology textbooks, to look at development, and how violence affects development, and how children perceive death, and punishment and reward.

"I've since been told that military men and women cannot accept any reward for the job that they're doing," he told MSNBC's Rita Cosby, who persuaded him to open his wallet for civilians instead. Of course, the U.S. government's $25 million prize for those al-Qaeda leaders hasn't yet led to their capture. But what's really going...
