Gitmo playlist
Songs used for torture by Guantanamo Bay prison
The Gitmo playlist refers to the songs "blasted" at inmates held by the United States at Guantanamo Bay prison in Cuba during the War on Terror. A "high-profile coalition of artists - including the members of Pearl Jam, R.E.M., and the Roots - has demanded the release of song titles used since 2002, sometimes for hours or days, to "coerce cooperation or as a method of punishment". A freedom of information request was filed by the National Security Archive, "a Washington-based independent research institute", seeking declassification of records related to music in interrogation practices. A protest of the use of music "in connection with torture" was also filed.[1]
