American Torture Method: Songs of War

[Banu Umayyah]

MUST watch documentary on the psychopathic American torture methods:

You have to be very mentally disturbed person to come up with these ideas.

In 2008, reports surfaced that detainees at Guantanamo Bay had been tortured by songs such as Metallica's "Enter Sandman" and Drowning Pool's "Bodies."

Now, a new documentary from Al Jazeera shows that detainees may also have been subjected to musical torture of a softer variety.

According to the report, prisoners at the U.S. detention camp at Guantanamo Bay Naval Base were forced to wear headphones blasting music from Sesame Street on repeat for hours or days on end.

Christopher Cerf, the award-winning composer of Sesame Street, was stunned to learn how his music was being exploited.

"My first reaction was this just can't possibly be true," he told Al Jazeera. "...Of course I didn't really like the idea that I was helping break down prisoners, but it was much worse when I heard later that they were actually using the music in Guantanamo to actually do deep, long-term interrogations and obviously to inflict enough pain on prisoners so they would talk."

This isn't the first time that music from Sesame Street has been used to break the will of prisoners. In 2003, the U.S. reportedly used the soundtrack to soften up Iraqi POWs.

Sesame Street, an educational children's television series, has been on the air since 1969.

Add to it prolonged sensory deprivation and you have a complete mental breakdown of POW, which is obviously against Geneva convention.

Did you watch the documentary? Very loud music looping for hours and sometimes days on end will drive anyone insane, killing is much more humane way. But of course, this tactics are only used for Muslim POW, they never did that to white Germans prisoners.

.... they never did that to white Germans prisoners.

Metallica and Drowning Pool weren't around in WWII. We HUNG a few Germans, though. Would THAT be better ?

You don't want to know what they did to White German prisoners after WW2, trust me, you don't.

The U.S. made some 'clean' the death camps they built. The Soviets just killed them.

The US did no different, at least not the military administration that was appointed the mission of governing and policing West Germany after the war.

Ever heard of 'Eisenhower's Death Camps'??

1.7-1.9 million German POW's died due to starvation, disease, sleeping, sitting, and living in their own feces, urine, throw up, decomposing bodies of their former Kamerads, and on top of that the rainy weather added to the growth and spread of disease, all because Eisenhower wanted to punish the German people.

BTW, most of the 1.7-1.9 million starved to death were young boys and old men who were the final reserve of Germany's man power, draftees.
