TORTURE AT GUANTANAMO

Launched on Tuesday, the Close Gitmo Now campaign unites activists, artists and retired generals in a coalition to close the controversial detention camp, used to house suspects captured in the War on Terror. Songs by a number of the acts -- including R.E.M., Nine Inch Nails and Pearl Jam -- were used to stress prisoners, a US Senate report said last year. "At Guantanamo, the US government turned a jukebox into an instrument of torture," Thomas Blanton, executive director of the National Security Archive which backs the campaign, said. "We have spent the last 30 years supporting causes related to peace and justice," R.E.M. said in a statement. "To now learn that some of our friends' music may have been used as part of the torture tactics, without their consent or knowledge, is horrific. It's anti-American, period."Here is the full list of artists or songs used in the interrogations:- AC/DC- Aerosmith- 'Barney the Dinosaur' theme song- The Bee Gees- Britney Spears- Bruce Springsteen- Christina Aguilera- David Gray- Deicide- Don McLean- Dope- Dr. Dre- Drowning Pool- Eminem- Hed P.E.- James Taylor- Limp Bizkit- Marilyn Manson- Matchbox Twenty- Meatloaf- Meow Mix Jingle- Metallica- Neil Diamond- Nine Inch Nails- Pink- Prince- Queen- Rage Against the Machine- Red Hot Chili Peppers- Redman- Saliva- Sesame Street Theme Music- Stanley Brothers- 'The Star Spangled Banner' (Roseanne version, no doubt)- Tupac Shakur
