    US Interrogators are using tracks by metal heavyweights Metallica to break Iraqi captives in Baghdad. Apparently this “culturally offensive” music will encourage them to disclose vital information

    hehe

    yay they finally use metal for a good cause rather than a scapegoat for school shooting and teenage suicides.

    The U.S. government better be using only original Metallica Cd's or have a liscense to broadcast them to an audience or Metallica will be on their ass before they they know it!

    I can see the headlines...

    "Metallica Closes U.S. Interegation Centers - Amnesty Internation praises metal group"

    "Human Rights Can Bite My Ass, Those Mofo's Owed Us Royalties - Ulrich"

    i heard about this on Sky News a few weeks back. the Iraqis aren't used to it. it's a bit of culture shock. they also use Barney the Dinosaur songs :D

    A curious choice given the lyrical content of a lot of early Metallica stuff. Back in the day when there were 3 themes: war, insanity, the insanity of war.

    enter sandman? bodies? they're pretty slow, quiet songs for metal, I can't imagine them being affected by that, they should play them some berserker or decapitated or something, that would be pretty funny.
