You’ve got to be kidding me… this is some of what the Progressives are whining about as torture? Sure, an argument could be made for Barney and Janeane Garofalo/Ben Stiller as torturous, but some of the music on that list are favs of mine. I’d take that torture any day. You are rocking out Jihadists and they can’t take it? What a bunch of mamby, pamby wusses. And seriously? Waterboarding? You want to know what real torture is? Having to burn alive, suffocate or jump to your death from the Twin Towers because some terrorist asshat flew his plane into the building. Or knowing you are on said plane and are about to die. This is more likely to engender a reaction of dancing than intel.
From Mad World:
The “torture report,” which was released by the Senate Intelligence Committee last week, revealed some of the techniques the CIA performed on detainees in an effort to gather intelligence and prevent more terror attacks on our country.
Among the methods included to interrogate prisoners outlined in the report were waterboarding, sleep deprivation, and the use of sound disorientation techniques, where certain types of music were used to prevent sleeping or break the detainees down mentally.
The use of music as a hands-free technique to condition detainees at the detention facilities appeared to be effective, as it was noticed that specific music triggered certain reactions in the detainees.
Although there is not an official “play list,” these songs have been identified by both US military personnel and ex-detainees, as those used during conditioning or interrogation.

As some Americans are questioning the techniques used by the CIA, complaining that terror suspects were “tortured,” perhaps we should consider the words of Terry Strada, the woman who was widowed after her husband was killed when Muslim jihadists flew their planes into the World Trade Center.
“Torture is watching what happened on 9/11, watching people jump out of buildings to save themselves, not from dying, but from burning alive and the smoke,” she said. “I mean, the carpet was burning beneath their feet … Torture is telling your children that their father was killed by terrorists on American soil, and that our government isn’t standing by our side to help us go after the people that caused it … I don’t think pouring water up their nose, or making them walk around naked … (it) doesn’t matter to me.”
If this is our government’s idea of torture, they fail miserably at it. I mean the bad guys might laugh themselves to death or die of boredom or annoyance, but short of that, this sucks. The Jihadists behead people… they crucify them. They don’t inundate them with songs, give them custom meals and prayers rugs and then ask them pretty please to spill the beans. You can’t defeat an enemy that you are not willing to match in severity of tactics. Brashness and brutality tend to win wars and fast. Somehow I don’t think Barney the Dinosaur is part of the enemy’s arsenal. This makes my brain melt – it is just that deranged.
If it isn't already, this one should be against the Geneva Convention.
What??? No way!!!
That's an American classic man!
Try this one, they'll be singing like canaries after three rounds....

Hell, the ragheads should consider themselves fortunate.
The interrogators could've unleashed the Yoko Ono CDs.
