Psychopaths' brains 'different'

I read this article about psychopath brain activity and why they are emotionless.
In the middle of the article it said,
“Remorseless
Criminal psychopaths are people with aggressive and anti-social personalities who lack emotional empathy.

“The Institute of Psychiatry, Kings College London team say this might partly explain psychopathic behaviour.”
“It has been suggested that people with psychopathic disorders lack empathy because they have defects in processing facial and vocal expressions of distress, such as fear and sadness, in others.”
Does that fit perfectly with George W. Bush behavior? I bet you it is.

The plan represented a rare united front a...

The informer, codenamed Curveball was Rafid Ahmed Alwan who, in 1999, turned up at a refugee centre in Germany seeking political asylum. He went on to convince the Pentagon he was a brilliant chemist who had helped develop mobile biological warfare laboratories."
