Christina Aguilera 'used to keep terror suspects awake'
I thought it was interesting.

Snip: <NTERROGATION techniques at Guantanamo Bay, including playing Christina Aguilera's music to keep terror suspects awake, have been highlighted in a report.

The first documented log of methods used by the US military to extract information from detainees details a range of techniques that range from a satirical puppet show to making a suspect growl at pictures of terrorists.

The 84-page document, obtained by Time magazine, concerns the interrogation of Mohammed al Qahtani, the so-called 20th hijacker - an alleged acquaintance of Osama bin Laden and an intended participant in the September 11 attacks.

The often hour-by-hour log spans a period of 50 days from November 2002 to January 2003, during which time 16 of 19 additional interrogation techniques were approved by US Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld for use on specific detainees. >

More... (including other reports of how they tortured)

1. I* don't know if Christina Aguilera
is really the most annoying choice. I mean if you really want someone to snap, what about some Vanilla Ice. Or maybe a nice selection of Polka Music. Phillip Glass might do wonders too.

2. Fight terror with terror, I say.....
And I can't think of anything more terrorizing than being forced to listed to CA. Does that mean I can report my local Top-40 station to the Department of Homeland Security?

3. Should she be entitled to royalties?
US copyright law bestows upon songwriters the exclusive right to a limited duration to exploit copyrights by transferring, lending or even selling one or all of the five (5) bundles of exclusive copyrights, subject to certain exceptions and limitations. In return for these licenses, grants, assignments, and/or sales, the copyright owner receives monetary compensation called "royalties". Thus, "royalties" are monies earned from songs and/or sound recordings from various sources.

15. This crosses the line for me
Waterboarding, attack dogs, naked twister were bad enough. But, my god, do these people have no decency left at all?
