Musicians Fight Guantánamo Playlist
After learning that their music was played at loud decibels to torture Guantánamo Bay detainees during questioning, several artists are banding together to close the American naval base prison. Among the musicians joining the National Security Archive's campaign are Pearl Jam, R.E.M. and Trent Reznor. It has already been revealed through public documents that the torture playlist included Britney Spears, AC/DC, Marilyn Manson, Drowning Pool and the Meow mix cat jingle. A spokeswoman for the Joint task force Guantánamo maintains that loud music has not been used on detainees since 2003. [Yahoo!]

Great! Now I know what playlist to make for Thanksgiving with my relatives.
Why the F do these artists care?? Also, how do all these pansies expect the U.S. to lay down the law with terrorists and whatnot? Put them in time out? Have them stand in the corner? Maybe we can make them wear a dunce cap. No, the dunce cap would probably scar them emotionally for life, they'll develop E.D. and sue the Department of Defense for damages.
Before you jump to conclustions, I'm not some crazy right-wingnut; but people are getting ridiculous by trying to pussify our military.
Too late. Conclusion jumped to.
If it were me, I'd sue the government for some cash. I mean, a corporation can't use a song in a commercial without throwing some money at the artist, so if Uncle Sam is using "Womanizer" as a weapon against terrorists, I'd ask for some DOD change if I were Brit Brit.
