An extraordinary obituary that is worth reading.
“After 48 hours of torture, Dr. Christie wrote a forced confession — ‘the best thing I ever wrote,’ he later told the BBC, noting that he had made sure the confession included ‘all my recommendations to the African National Congress’ about the best way to sabotage Koeberg and other facilities”
