IT'S ONLY TORTURE AFTER "DOCUMENT" (via Bryan Francoeur):

Bands want to know if their music was used on Gitmo detainees (CNN, October 22, 2009)

A coalition of top musicians, including R.E.M. and Pearl Jam, want to know if their music was used by the U.S. military as part of controversial interrogation methods at the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

The artists have endorsed a series of Freedom of Information Act requests, which were filed Thursday morning, asking the U.S. government to declassify documents that would reveal which artists' work was used on detainees at U.S. prison facilities and military detention centers, including the one at Guantanamo Bay.

Isn't the question they should be asking: Was it helpful to my country's security?
