Advanced Interrogation Techniques

That’s the term the Bush Administration uses for torture. One of the innocuous techniques is to play intermittent buzzing sounds hour after hour.

Living in this apartment I am experiencing this… this technique works and if it is worth anything: I’m ready to talk. I’ll confess. I helped kidnap the Lindbergh baby. I single-handedly helped bring the stock market down. Whatever you want me to confess to I will, just stop the damn noise!

It sounds like a distant fog horn. It goes for eight seconds. Stops. Silence for thirteen seconds then the sound begins again. It’s as constant as the northern star.

I’ve been here 48 hours and I’m losing my flippin’ mind.
