Tunes of torture: ‘deafening music used to torment U.S. prisoners’

The blaring of loud music at extremely dangerous levels is reportedly being used for the torture of political prisoners and suspected terrorists in the U.S.

Songs like “Enter The Sandman” from Metallica and Eminem’s “White America”, are being played at extremely large levels for our valued Iraqi prisoner’s.  It’s a shame they do not appreciate the artistic value here.

The charity group is disappointed that musicians are not doing more to stop what their music is being used for, but hey!  Who wouldn’t want their art used for the reform of others?

Here is a comment by James Hetfield, co-founder of Metallica:

“We’ve been punishing our parents, our wives, our loved ones with this music for ever. Why should the Iraqis be any different?” he said.
