I wonder what is considered "too political" for TED. Someone sent me this talk on the nature of evil, and systemic reasons for people doing evil. It looks at the Stanford prison study as one of them. The views express run fundamentally against what a number of people on forums like this, which is that everything is on a personal level, and there isn't systemic evil. Pretty much presents a liberal case for why there is evil, in that the system is responsible for a lot of it. Anyhow, the video is here:

The presentation shows a number of pictures from the Abu G prison in Iraq.
I believe this video wasn't pulled off the TED site, but it does get into politics.
