What amazes me is that they used RATM's 'Bullet In The Head' for interrogation purposes. It's funky, it's not as brutal as any random song by, say, Coal Chamber, and it's like the most anti-capitalism, anti-establishment song ever. There is that intimidationg part in the end where Zach screams "You've got a bullet in the head!" over and over again, though. I won't blame the detainees for not getting the metaphor at that moment.
