David Gray – Instrument of Torture
Posted Fri 4 Jul 2008 1:33PM BST by Mitch Carter in The Guestlist
Middle-of-the-road Mancunian miserablist David Gray has hit out at reports that his music has been used as an instrument of torture by US interrogators. 
The singer-songwriter's hit single Babylon is said to be the preferred choice of the US military in Iraq who play the track incessantly to detainees during interrogation sessions.
"What we're talking about here is people in a darkened room, physically inhibited by handcuffs, bags over their heads and music blaring at them." said the singer taking on Radio Four's World Tonight programme.
Playing loud music repeatedly to detainees is thought to be a standard interrogation technique used by the US military.
i mean seriouly come on!!
Heard recently that a lot of the Guantanemo bay detainees were turned in by people who would receive a result the equivalent of €250k in their own country. Imagine the amount of innocent people that would be turned in for that amount of money in the US. Then torture next?
