My word, the way you say that one would imagine that the biggest difference you see between the USA and Saddam's Iraq is the way taxes are collected.

Look, trust me, the battery was NOT powering a radio!

Yeah, all you need is something to modulate the current from 12v/high amperage to 10,000v/low amperage. Any high skool electricity student can do that for you. About this "bed"... was it a bed, or just a set of springs? I've read that certain South American tinhorns would use bare bedsprings as a conduit for high voltage electric shock torture, presumably with house current. Seems like a car coil or a cattle prod would get the same result.

Be very careful, my friend. I don't take such insults very lightly. I am certain that Saddam is and has tortured and murdered people. You have SUSPICIONS, as do I, but to state that this battery was used for torture just because it is sitting near a bed is flat out speculation.
