So I'm piecing together some information today as reports continue to come in on the bin Laden story.
1. Multiple news sources are reporting (AP, Boston Herald, etc) that CIA interrogation led to the killing of bin Laden. Bush authorized 'harsh' interrogation inside CIA prisons in Poland and Romania. (I imagine that just being in Poland or Romania put the interrogators in a bad mood.)
2. Then there's this from a 2005 ABC story.
"They would not let you rest, day or night. Stand up, sit down, stand up, sit down. Don't sleep. Don't lie on the floor," one prisoner said through a translator. The detainees were also forced to listen to rap artist Eminem's "Slim Shady" album. The music was so foreign to them it made them frantic, sources said.
Who knew?
I'm sure being sleep deprived really sucks but I have a hard time picturing Jack Bauer walking in the cell and cranking up some 'My Name Is'. Then it got me thinking. What song would make me spew every bit of information I had? I came up with 2. Poker Face - in fact, you could probably threaten me by showing me pictures of Lady Gaga and that would get the job done. The 2nd is a song that comes on DisneyXM and has a little girl singing about whipping her hair back and forth.
