an excerpt:
"I lost all track of time – I could have been tortured for 5 minutes or 25 – I have no real conception of the actual duration... After my feet were cut loose, I was roughly pulled upright and the interrogator handed me a pen and paper. “You will write down all the websites you think might help to confirm that you are in fact a Canadian journalist”, he said. I made some remark that I would have gladly done so without the beating, but my attempt at black humour was wasted."
