Britney Spears Music is Torture

Recently, many popular musicians have inquired the government about whether their music has been used for torture practices. Thanks to Freedom of Information Act requests, many have discovered that their music has been played loudly during torture interrogations in US prisons including Guantanamo Bay. The list has musicians ranging from Metallica to Britney Spears to the Barney theme song! Here’s the complete list.


A “grassroots Close Gitmo Now campaign is aimed at pressuring members of Congress to support President Obama's endeavor to close the Guantanamo Bay prison.” They are teaming up with musicians to combat torture and the existence of the infamous US prison. Whether or not any of the artists will choose to take legal proceedings is unknown but it is likely that someone will take action. Attorney General Eric Holder “has asked a federal prosecutor to examine whether the interrogations violated the law.” He is asking for documents that concern the use of loud music as a torture technique.
