Trimming off the rest of this post is unnecessary.

I will guarantee anonymity except in cases of blatant abuse.
I will achieve anonymity by tallying the results in
uncorrelated tabulations and then deleting the emails.

from a gun-butt if I refused to answer. The only respite was
for a few moments every two hours when the guards and
questioners were replaced by fresh ones; for the guards
too because exhausted by the bright lights.
After what seemed to be endless hours, but which in
reality could not have been more than six, I collapsed on
the floor. Guards quite unemotionally began pricking me
with their sharpened bayonets. To struggle to my feet with
my arms fixed behind me was difficult, but I did it, again
and again. When I became unconscious buckets of cesspool
water were thrown over me. Hour after hour the questioning
went on. My legs began to swell. My ankles became thicker
than my thighs as the body fluids drained dow
