Bands Invoice US Government for Using Their Music to Torture Guantanamo DetaineesMelissa Melton When asked how they felt about it, the band replied with not too good. Who would it sit right with? Apparently other bandsincluding Metallica, whose songs were used during interrogations in Iraq on record, have also asked the American government to stop using their music to torture people. How sad is that? I mean, thats the level of murky, putrid sewage this country is swimming in that bands have to ask the tyrannical government, Dear government, if it wouldnt be too much trouble, could you stop using our music to torture, stun, invoke sleep deprivation and terrify indefinitely detained people? Thanks. There are still 155 people detained in what Amnesty International once dubbed the Guantanamo Gulag. Seventy seven of those people have been cleared to leave, some for years, but they still have not been allowed to actually go. Clive Stafford Smith, an attorney for 14 of the men being held at Guantanamo, wrote of his experiences visiting the prison, which he says treats people worse than any other institution he has visited in his 30-year career: Obama swears a year from now he really really really will close the prison. Really really. He really means it this time. Really. Hallmark should make a card for that too. Sorry you were indefinitely detained and tortured for no reason and promised freedom only to have it wrenched from you again and again and again Melissa Melton is a writer, researcher, and analyst for The Daily Sheeple, where this first appeared, and a co-creator of Truthstream Media.
