They asked me why I was helping the Contras." I said. "I am not helping the Contras. They laid me down on the ground and they took electrodes and they attached one electrode to my head and the other electrode to my leg and then they turned on the electricity. and it hurt very. very much." Now. using electrodes for torture is not. as I understand. something that a lot of people in Central America engage in. It is a fairly new measure of torture and the Sandinistas probably got it from the East Germans. the Russians. the Cubans. and these other masters of torture. and here I saw the other day a gentleman who was still there for anybody to talk to who wants to go to that refugee camp. a victim of that new torture technology that the gentleman from Oklahoma is talking about.
