There was a very interesting interview with William Sampson, the Canadian who was tortured in Saudi Arabia, on The National tonight.

They're showing the second half of it tomorrow night so you can catch the rest of it then.

I found it rather interesting that he felt that he could dispassionately recount the torture and abuse that he suffered, horrific as it was, without really having any kind of emotional reaction to it. However, he had a very hard time recounting the time that he had to be in the same room as his friend who was also being tortured in front of him. It just gives you a little insight into how people work.
