As it turns out, the most enthusiastic users of this interrogation
technique were the Khmer Rouge, and the following URL has pictures of
what the actual device as used by them looks like. It is possible that
we have a kindler and gentler version of this that we use, but I have
never seen pictures of it.

In any case, now you know.
Next - my main objection to the Khmer Rouge's uses of torture is that it
was used against people who were not guilty of the kinds of crimes which
deserved it. For example, I am sure that it was used a lot against
political prisoners. If they had used it only against people for which
they had credible evidence that those tortured were engaged in terrorist
activities against women and children, I wouldn't mind much at all.
