L'estrapade
L'estrapade is a most disgusting form
Of torture
Ok, there is no nice form of torture
This one is tops
Dates back to at least 1481
When, in le Valais (Switzerland), Pierre de Torente
Was thus tortured and then burned at the stake for witchcraft
The Gestapo also loved to use it to obtain....informations
From reluctant prisoners
Closer to us, in 2003 In the irakian prison
Of Abou Ghraib, prisoner Manadel al-Jamad
Was thus tortured by CIA agents
And a private military contractor.
Man's inhumanity to Man continues.
