Yes. Which is why I think it's absurd everyone getting in an uproar about playing the movie over and over, but - aside from the recent "Torture" thread, which had like 2 replies - I haven't seen any panties in a bunch about similar and far worse techniques being used on more common prisoners.
Besides, no one's alleged Saddam was all Ludivico'd with toothpicks propping his eyes open while tied to a chair with his head in a vice. How, exactly, did they "make" him watch it? Was it projected on all four walls of his cell?
More than likely, he was made to listen to it, because you can't really escape sound. And if this particular sound was designed to humiliate rather than "advanced interrogate," please put that in the perspective of guard dogs, naked human pyramids, koran desecration, hoods and stress position and wires attached to the genitals.
Let's get a freaking grip about the South Park torture.
