• ... that Guantanamo Bay prison probably didn't have an official playlist?

• ALT1: ... that the creator of the theme song for Barney laughed when he found out it was used during American interrogations? Source: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2008/jun/19/usa.guantanamo
• ALT2: ... that Drowning Pool played "Bodies" at Gitmo after it was used to torture a detainee there? Source: https://www.vice.com/en/article/postcard-from-guantanamo-slahi-guantanamo-diary/, https://www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-world/world/americas/guantanamo/article160037809.html

• Comment: I personally prefer ALT1, but it's a minor preference. Edit October 31: New hook added, which I think I like more.

QPQ: None required.

Overall: Oof, that's a heavy topic. Article appears to be new enough and long enough. Reading through it, it appears balanced. Earwig is unhappy, but this appears to be due to the lengthy quotes. No QPQ needed, and no image. Looks good to go. Preference for ALT 1 or ALT 2  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 19:59, 6 November 2024 (UTC)
