Torturous!

U.S. military interrogators have often blasted music at detainees in Iraq, Afghanistan and Guantanamo Bay. According to the British law group Reprieve, these are among the songs they have used most frequently:
• “Enter Sandman,” Metallica.
• “Bodies,” Drowning Pool.
• “Shoot to Thrill,” AC/DC.
• “Hell’s Bells,” AC/DC. (Great song!)
• “I Love You,” from the “Barney and Friends” children’s TV show.
• “Born in the USA,” Bruce Springsteen. (Great song!)
• “Babylon,” David Gray.
• “White America,” Eminem.
• “Sesame Street,” theme song from the children’s TV show.



We only know a few of the above mentioned songs. We would have added Spongebob-Squarepants-voice for good measure. Having to listen to it for hours on end would bring everyone to confess to everything - just to make it end...
How about endless episodes of CSI Miami? David Caruso's subpar acting has people writhe in agnony..

  2. I was very interested in the choice of music for torture.I wonder what the secret is.
    Repitition,perhaps?Or a certain level of cacophony?

  3. That's MY NATURE...Jeannie. You should know that by now, LOL.

    I don't know. Maybe it is the repeating of the same song over and over again. Eminems White America is one tough song.
    Or maybe those songs have lyrics that insult every terroristic Muslim.
    I wonder WHO is responsible for the choice of songs...

  4. Eminem's "White America"

    ...America, hahaha, we love you, how many people are proud to be citizens of this beautiful
    Country of ours, the stripes and the stars for the rights that men have died for to protect,
    The women and men who have broke their neck's for the freedom of speech the United States
    Government has sworn to uphold, or
    (Yo', I want everybody to listen to the words of this song) so we're told...
    ....
    And they say that is the "clean version" of the song. LOL

  5. Well,that song is definitely an insult to any terrorist worth his salt.It goes against the grain of everything he believes in.

    So,lyrics are definitely one of the ingredients.
    I believe you mentioned the Barney song.If you have heard,it then I believe enough has been said.
    I would definitely kill someone who played that song over and over in my cell.

  13. Clever girl. I was laready wondering. Deaths, even accidental ones, are always a messy business.

  14. Your way of dealing would leave marks on their bodies. While music is torture without scars. Thus they can't prove that they really were tortured. All in all a clever and inhumane game.

  26. Actually, people really get tortured this way. But since those people are alleged terrorists who don't mind the death of other people I don't pitty them.

  29. Violence does beget violence.It's one of the circles of life.

    It seems to be the one thing we can't civilize out of the human race.

    I know a lot of people that don't talk or think like I do,but you may not beleive this but I am not as dumb as some folks think,I was raised to let you know how I felt and there would be no misunderstanding.

  45. Cupcake that is a handy talent to have.I felt you zero in on my wave length.I don't have much to hide,even if I wanted to.

    I am actually a little shy and private.I found it easy to talk to you.

    What I like about Vixen is her logical and orderly train of thought.I'm disorganized.

  52. Wolves are direct relatives of dogs. I like them. In the city I was born in have an Alpen-zoo which features 3 big grey wolves. Last year they had young ones which is a big sensation.
