I wouldn't call them "mindless" so much as I would "determined." It isn't that they are mindless, you have to have a mind to command, it's that their mind is bent solely to the will of Sauron. The mind is still there, it just only thinks of the best way to serve the Lord.

I just realized that the above is off topic, so I'm adding more.

I was actually talking about Gothmog just yesterday. He may or may not have been a nazgul, the text isn't explicit. All it says is that he is the "Lt. of Morgul." WK was the Lord of Morgul, so Gothmog would be the second in command after him. WK had like 5 nazgul at Minas Morgul to help him, so you could reasonably expect one of those to be his second in command.
