An apology

[marathondan]

But do read my Paris 2006 report.

Anyone know where we can find that esteemed document? The link from this post is broken.

I got as far as this:

There comes a point during any torture session where the victim ‘switches off’. The pain is so great, the loss of human dignity so profound that a sort of peace, an ocean of calm, washes over them. They simply no longer care, taking a distant, detached view of their predicament. I came to this place now, arriving with the sense of relief one feels on stepping off a plane at the start of a long holiday.

but that refers to an altogether different trial...
