Of course, that was only the entire point of the experiment.  Some
people just don't get it, do they?

If it hasn't already been mentioned, Milgram himself wrote a book on
the experiment called Obedience To Authority.  I recommend it heartily.

There is also a film that they showed us in Legal Studies that dealt
with this experiment, although I don't know how you could get a copy
of it if you're not in school.
