[edit] Torture music

Wasn't the American metal played in one of the torture scenes by Cradle of Filth? It sounded a lot like a song by them I've heard, but I'm not a fan of them so couldn't swear to it. It would make a good point for a trivia section if we knew for sure. --Sam Blanning (formerly Malthusian) (talk) 00:29, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Gender

It says "A spokesman for Bedfordshire police said that none of the men were arrested and that the Terrorism Act allows the police to "stop and examine people if something happens that might be suspicious"" but then it says She did not clarify what the actors had done to arouse suspicion, could someoneone please clear this up?

I just changed it to spokesperson - hope that's ok Anthropax 16:19, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

• It was a woman. I personally couldn't care less about the whole spokesman/spokeswoman/spokesperson issue (though I know which rolls off the tongue more easily), so the change is fine with me. --Sam Blanning (formerly Malthusian) (talk) 17:22, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Disambiguation

I removed the disambiguation to Guantanamo (disambiguation) that E Pluribus Anthony added. There doesn't seem much chance that someone would enter The Road to Guantanamo when they were really looking for Guantanamo, given the three extra words. We don't disambiguate Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas to Las Vegas, for example. --Sam Blanning (formerly Malthusian) (talk) 13:29, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Reception

Is exile.ru a reliable source? "Any magazine whose website carries an opinion poll asking readers to pick their favorite style of pubic hair on a woman is not going to be the Wall Street Journal is it?"[1] --duncan 20:52, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

That quote seems really out of place. Can't we get a critique from a more reputable source?
