With respect to lender liability , section 101 excludes from the definition of " owner or operator " any " person , who , without participating in the management of a ...... facility , holds indicia of ownership primarily to protect his security interest in the ...... facility " .
Any of these " indicia " might justify the use of torture to produce a confession ( which was proof ) or the refusal to confess ( which was also proof ) and justified even more ferocious tortures and ultimately death .
