Indeed.

I think it would have been far more amusing, if say, in Apocalypse Now, intead of Wagner, they Huey's had been blasting :

"Her name was was Lola, she was a show-girl....."

Similar to a scheme in the UK whereby classical music gets played at bus stops after 9.30 to stop teenagers hanging around them and... well... looking threatening or whatever it is that us teenagers do wrong.

No shit.

They were playing very loud music to a guy in a small room for 72 hours solid to try and break him according to an interview with him.

Shame he hadn't done anything wrong.

If only people didn't just laugh at such tragedy (see the whole Barney-for-days-on-end thing in Al-Qaim : Not funny at all, but because it was Barney "AHAHAHAHA TERRORISTS ARE STUPID HAHAHA").

I used to only laugh at the funny tragedies, but people called me a hypocrite. So now I laugh at all of them. :)

Only if by "something similar" you mean "killed 1000 people".

They did something actually similar with David Koresh, and look what happened at the end of that.
