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.”
