Harry Shearer salutes America's newest form of "enhanced interrogation techniques".

"Greed and Fear". Based on the two emotions which battle for the heart (?) of Wall Street, Harry Shearer has concocted nine hummable, even danceable, musical tributes to the strange language and stranger behavior that have made Credit Crunch such a tasty breakfast treat...or a great abdominal exercise.

Almost makes torture look fun.

    By concord327 on November 24, 2009, at 12:42PM PST what if instead of torturing terrorists we feed them and give them nice houses and tell them look. WE can provide all this for you. We have to unstand WHy someone decides or is conditioned to become a terrorist. Sometimes the answer comes in just asking a few questions instead of treating them like dogs.

      By concord327 on November 24, 2009, at 12:44PM PST OR we can stop wasting billions of money bombing and torturing and sending young men and women to die and spend the money on building houses for our own people like the people of New Orleans.

    By shecki on May 25, 2008, at 6:15AM PST funny, well-produced and to the point. our group, The Incumbents, did a version a year or so ago, a little more uptempo, but in the same spirit:

    Waterboardin’ USA
    If ev’rybody was in prison outside the USA,
    Then they’d all be waterboardin’ no matter what they say
    You see ‘em havin’ seizures, telling whoppers too
    Sayin’ what you like, waterboardin’ USA

    You’ll catch ‘em fishin and farming, when the weather’s fine
    Wandering free round their homeland, till they cross the line
    Then they’re slammed in a prison, in the neocon way
    See ‘em waterboardin’,  thanks to the USA

    They think they’re in the ocean, in that little room
    Getting out a confession, just in time for June.
    Doesn’t matter if they mean it, they’re in the clink to stay
    Tell the court we’re waterboardin’ in the USA

    In Syria and Egypt, it’s a big crusade
    Inside outside the USA
    Baghdad at sunset, down Morocco way
    CIA prisons yeah they know the way
    All over the planet, whether straight or gay
    Inside outside consciousness
    Ev’rybody’s waterboardin’, in the U.S.A.
    Tell us what we want since your mind’s a mess

    By Bierkan on February 13, 2008, at 8:24PM PST Rudernuts, actually, yes, we did torture Japanese, both in theater and here in the home soil.  Doesn't make it right.  My main point, though, is we have to have an understanding of our "enemy".  The fundamental divide can trace it roots back to the Crusades.  However, this current conflict can better trace its roots to our role in helping Afgahnistan fight the Soviets.  Once the invasion was over, our government and populace couldn't be bothered to assist in rebuilding this nation.  We *could* have kept them as an ally and had friendly relations with their government.  With our help, they could have adopted a western-style Muslim govenrment, much like Turkey.  Instead, we left the door open for the Taliban to take control.  Thank you Democratic controlled 101st Congress.  Our limp wristed response to the Beirut bombing showed that if slapped, the US would back down.  This was reinforced by similar response to the USS Cole, the first World Trade Center bombing and Kohbar Towers.  To an extent, its being reinforced by this year's cancellation of the Dakar rally (not a US response, but an overall western response to terror).  Is torture "right"?  Against a culture that reguards those who believe any other prophet as demons who must be stopped at all costs, techniques to get information must be severe enough to counteract deep held beliefs.

    By rudernuts on January 20, 2008, at 3:10PM PST Wrong!  It applies to everyone.  That's what makes us superior to Islamic or any other kind of terrorists.  Don't live in fear and don't sell out your nation's ideals so quickly.
