being a psychology major, i always find cases like this extremely interesting and sometimes find reason to have some sympathy (it's rare)... many of these people really have the honest believe that what they're doing is really good work... and they have a locked addiction to that... voices that tell them to... when someone becomes mentally ill to such an extreme sense.. you rarely get through to the real person that they once were... sometimes with dissociative personality disorder (multiple personalities).. you have someone going out and killing that doesn't even realize it... and the lucid side/personality really goes through a lot of torment... however, this case is very rare and it turns out that a lot of them are schizos or have anti-social personality disorder (lack of conscience and guilt and an extreme ability to rationalize their corrupted actions)
