The Guns of Hazzard

Dukes of Hazzard’ used in Gitmo interrogations

Human rights groups protest use of Jessica Simpson film
Human rights groups around the world cried foul today amid reports that the movie version of "The Dukes of Hazzard" is being used by interrogators at the U.S. detention center in Guantanamo, Cuba.
According to reports, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld arranged for a private screening of the film at the Pentagon in mid-July and determined that it could be a powerful tool for extracting information from enemy combatants.
Over the weekend, when "Dukes" appeared on over three thousand screens nationwide, it also appeared in at least twelve interrogation rooms at Guantanamo, playing on a nonstop loop.
"We have never seen anything like it," said one Guantanamo interrogator, speaking on condition of anonymity. "About ten minutes into the film, the prisoners are already willing to talk."
But even as interrogators praised "Dukes" as a welcome addition to their tactical arsenal, human rights groups such as Amnesty International blasted the U.S. for using the film, arguing that the practice could be in violation of the Geneva Conventions against torture.
"We see the use of 'The Dukes of Hazzard' as part of a larger pattern of abuse," said Amnesty International spokesperson Jean-Claude Guinod, noting that the U.S. had used the film "Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed" at Gunatanamo in 2004.
At the Pentagon, Secretary Rumsfeld categorically defended the use of the "Dukes" film, telling reporters, "Don't think for a moment that if the enemy had 'The Dukes of Hazzard' they wouldn't use it on us."

In violation of the Geneva Convention?.. Showing T&A in a bad flic? I WANNA see that rule !
AI has gone totally insane.
If this shit is working I propose to start showing 1970s porn, with the crapy wah-wah music and the rather hirsute female hoo-has. Now, that should have them begging for mercy!
I do admit this is FUNNY as all hell.
OH merciful Allah, that Jessica Simpson gives me a major Muslim woody, PLEASE MAKE IT STOP!
