Spanish Inquisition torture and stuff


An interesting author interview on the Spanish Inquisition - he had access to the inquisition archives.

Skip the first couple minutes of it.

You better not be noticed to be avoiding eating pork...

He mentions people being condemned to be galley slaves, the rack etc..

" The Inquisition revolutionized record-keeping and surveillance techniques that are still used today, says Cullen Murphy. His new book God's Jury draws parallels between some of the interrogation techniques used in previous centuries with the ones used today. "
