...buttress their claims that the embassy was a "nest of spies," the students released a copy of a purported cable to the State Department. It indicated that a William Daugherty and a Malcolm Kalp, who the militants claimed were among the hostages, were CIA officers. The document also implied that there were two other CIA operatives on the embassy staff who were not named. In addition, the students displayed a faked Belgian passport and detailed instructions on how it was to be used with a set of forged immigration stamps to give the appearance that the passport bearer had gone...

Proponents of ECT also point out that modern techniques are far removed from the horror of Cuckoo's Nest. Says Yudofsky, "The only way you physically know a seizure is taking place is that sometimes you see a finger wiggling slightly." The patient is injected with a short-acting anesthetic, then a muscle relaxant to prevent the sudden muscular contractions that in the past occasionally caused fractured bones or chipped teeth. An electrocardiogram is sometimes used to monitor the heart rhythm and oxygen is administered to prevent possible brain damage after the shock...
