#9 is information compromised and out to lunch with delirium. The Argentine 'Dirty War' claimed 30,000 lives and the Madres de Plaza de Mayo knocked on Catholic church doors, "Skirtwearers, let us in!" to no avail. Catholic mafia is also the first to get in line for government funding of its charity food lines so it can cleanse itself from begging in the first place.
Prisoner-readers had best grasp the sequelae:
'Unlike earlier generations, these future rebels graduated into a martial-law military and then spent their formative years as junior officers fighting a civil war in Mindanao or interrogating dissidents in Manila.....For these young officers, torture also proved transformative, freeing them from their socialization in subordination learmned at the military academy and inspiring a will to power -- no longer self-effacing servants of the state but empowered political actors who would be its master.

At the close of its first worldwide Campaign for the Abolition of Torture in 1972, Amnesty International realized the limitations of its lawyerly practice of documentation and appealed to the medical profession for support. A group of Danish doctors responded with research among victims that discovered a pernicious, often incapacitating form of postraumatic stress disorder. "When you've been tortured, explained Dr. Inge Genefke, "the private hell stays with you through your life if its not treated." But the victims did respond surprisingly well to therapy. In 1982, these therapists founded Copenhagen's Rehabilitation and Research Centre for torture victims (RCT) and then built a global network of ninety-nine centers that treated forty-eight thousand victims in 1992 alone.'

Why Denmark? Because it did not forget a Danish son who underwent Gestapo torture, who refused to yield up the location of the hidden weapons to them.
