Artists used for “enhanced interrogation” (i.e. torture) sessions include Nine Inch Nails, Marilyn Manson and, er, Britney Spears
A new book called The Penguin Book of Hell has a chapter about the music American interrogators use at detention centres around the planet, including a prison in Mosul, Iraq, Guantanamo Bay in Cuba and the notorious Abu Ghraib prison. The goal is to drive inmates into talking.
