The movie was based on the book. Regardless, I should probably watch it rather than rely on what others tell me.

Much the same thing was done at the Waco siege where loudspeakers were used to play sounds of animals being slaughtered, drilling noises and clips from talk shows about how much their leader David Koresh was hated. In addition, very bright, flashing lights were used at night".
The book The Men Who Stare At Goats chronicles use evolution of psychologial warfare quite nicely and makes for an interesting read.

Read the book: The Men Who Stare At Goats. Yes, they made a bad movie out of it, but the book itself is amazing, and includes some significant data on the CIA making people crazy and killing them.

Major Stubblebine? I knew I'd heard that name in a book somewhere
