Time Magazine has reported that music by Christina Aguilera has been used at Guantanamo Bay during the interrogation of a leading al-Qaeda suspect, Mohammed al Qahtani, believed to be the so-called 20th hijacker of the 9/11 incident. Repetitious music has reportedly been used by US forces for decades to try to break down suspects and encourage them to talk.
Pentagon officials continue to maintain that the Guantanamo prisoners are being treated humanely, despite widely reported allegations of abuse from released detainees. The Christina story is proof, surely, that the cruelty and abuse continues.
