aljazeera did a really really great documentary on some of the findings from
two thousand three that indicated some of the portrait techniques that they
used equipment
and one of them is known as merely torture so i'm not answers here at talks
about what music torturous
and how it affects the detainees let's watch
in two thousand three transpired u_s_-imposed
first-quarter detainees process in simply set forth dates
somewhere first reaction was his campus of the true
this is just too crazy
it wasn't sure
but of course i didn't really like the idea that i was helping
uh... praised and prisoners
but it it was much worse when i heard later that they were actually using the
the music and in guantanamo
hotel actually to deep long-term
uh... interrogation
obviously to inflict enough pain and and prisoners said they were talking
now the man that interview is christopher sir and he is the composer
for the sesame street music
emma's sesame street music to tried these detainees crazy
during interrogation
makiya billion sounds
maya crazy idea to begin with like why would you says the street music is that
i could hardly stand for five seconds will own
disrespecting the guy isn't forty eight to decide what would it be silent
stuttering a
you know i don't know if that was part of the pointer not another so they do
but i know they did
they did distort the music that i want and
and nigel listening that that deafening volume
hours on that in fact the next video talks about how many hours add the
prisoners with
have to listen to the music and it was based on the level of sound let's watch
the medical specialists carefully described the torture procedures
c_i_a_ agents are allowed to use during interrogation is
they focus on my substantially no visible traces of the prisoners such as
noise and loud music
permitted noise levels are as follows
music as loud as the noise of a highway forty two dollars a day
abouhalima cranked up motorbike forty eight hours
as loud as a truck engines at full throttle for four hours
as well as a jack hammond for two hours
imagine listening to a jack hammer for two hours i think barely had a lot of
walking by
yet and imagine i think that it's in some ways worse with music business so
repetitive in its you know
and in boards that in your head and then a motorcycle skin being probably love
and that your
for powers on and within the city eighteen hours a day that the
there have people listen at that decibel level
and look uh...
some ways they can turn into a book come on you'll recall listening music
torturer or you lives right commodity derek but in reality it can easily drive
yet he remarked that in fact they give a perfect example of how they would use
that music
distorted
and um... basically used different music at the same time
let's watch
and sometimes it was like two songs playing against each other completely
off tempo dislike
blaring
you know say this rock
music with like a johnny cash song against each other that led them both to
the same in the same room diaz and that the other
okay so you can actually it made it clear to slice compound
really it is as i was listed as a couple johnny cash
now the big in the metal music that you know as you mentioned that soft emboli
which is completely it's rising me crazy i got my money off them but i could not
you are that's right cookie noticing happy and i i know i know
you have to understand his suit part of what i mean this is a little misleading
we must do for five seconds
so there will be when you listen to provide our street animation in texas as
a mystery to the rock music
as one big job limit your head and you can't get out your head
finally day after day after day
so ideally session to music torture because i was fascinated by the disney
often talk about physical torture but we never talk about
very rarely talk about psychological torture and music torture is actually
something that's been implemented for thousands and thousands of years
in fact during the korean war
the chinese in the koreans
when use music torture against americans in south koreans
well actually
that's exactly where we got it for me to remember
all the torture that we're doing now is and this is the bush administration
admitted this
they got it from the old manuals of the chinese during that time period
the chinese used to do this to torture including our guys and we went back what
with communist china and their torture methods
we jump in
that's what they cheney thought that's quite all think that we found this old
trainees torture men's
do you understand how safe that is
me no more pointed the river in the past the republican party was like
guardian commies
were better than when the chinese city until israel said cause we love the
countries of the chinese who like to work for people
all we got there may be a great let's use that word for people
and that's how much they're pollen party has lost its mind
