It is my opinion that any man or woman can be broken when in custody and will sign false confessions, assuming the state is so inclined, evil and corrupt to do so.

Fred, Monaco police held Ted Maher for three days in four-point restraint, catheterized, sleep-deprived, threatened with the torture and strip-searching and indefinite detention of his wife, and unspecified harm to their children, until he signed their prepared false confession in French which he does not read, write or speak.

I was given the Stockdale, In Love and War, by my step-son, an otherly-surnamed graduate of the USNA Class of '94, and in it I believe the Admiral states we all broke; the point was to immediately begin resisting again.

The business of coercing confessions is sheer evil.

I've read and shared your Ted Maher threads with others. I just shared it with an officemate today. That's why I flagged you here. Keep up the good fight.

Ted's lucky Monaco doesn't have the Patriot Act.
