Report: Interrogator Forces Guantanamo Prisoner To Listen To "Satanic Black Metal Music For Hours"

The Sydney Morning Herald (www.smh.com.au) has issued the following report courtesy of The Washington Post's Dan Eggen:

FBI agents witnessed mistreatment of the Koran at the military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, including at least one instance in which an interrogator squatted over Islam's holy text in an attempt to offend a prisoner.

In another incident in October 2002, interrogators wrapped a bearded prisoner's head in duct tape "because he would not stop quoting the Koran", newly released bureau documents say.

The reports amount to new and separate allegations of religiously oriented tactics used against Muslim prisoners at the jail.

After an erroneous report of Koran abuse triggered protests overseas in 2005, the US military conducted an investigation that confirmed five incidents of intentional and unintentional mishandling of the Koran at the prison camp. They acknowledged that soldiers and interrogators had kicked the book, had stood on it and, in one case, inadvertently sprayed urine on a copy.

The report released on Tuesday followed an internal survey conducted in 2004 by the FBI, which asked about 500 employees who had served at Guantanamo Bay to report possible mistreatment by law enforcement or military personnel. Agents reported 26 incidents of possible mistreatment.

In a previously unreported allegation, one interrogator bragged to an FBI agent that he had forced a prisoner to listen to "Satanic black metal music for hours", then dressed as a Catholic priest before "baptising" him.

Another agent reported being told that while questioning male captives, female interrogators would sometimes wet their hands and touch prisoners' faces in order to interrupt their prayers.

A Pentagon spokesman said "the issues and facts raised" in the documents "are not new" and that 12 reviews showed there were no Defence Department policies that condoned abuse.

Some of the previously reported tactics mentioned in the new documents include wrapping a prisoner in an Israeli flag, subjecting others to extreme heat and cold, and aggressively using strobe lights on others. Before the Pentagon adopted new interrogation rules in September such treatment was allowed.

that's what I thought too.

Kinda funny, but the FBI can not be all that bright to force a prisoner to listen to "Satanic black metal music for hours", since "Black Metal" hurls its hatred at only Christianity and not at any other religion of the world.

They (The Federally Bogus Indefinitely) should have forced the prisoner to listen to the Osmonds, Vanilla Ice, Limp Bizkit, Bon Jovi or Milli Vanilli if they wanted to accomplish their task of 'breaking the prisoners will and making him more adept to provide info."

I am surprised that the same idiot that bragged about "forcing a prisoner to listen to "Satanic black metal music for hours"" didnt molest the prisoner as he dressed as a Catholic priest (Ya know, Mistaken the prisoner as an altar boy)

Geez Brian...you really do know how to torture...but I think that your scenario would have resulted in suicide

I am very curious as to what this "Satanic Black Metal" is...

that gives an accurate description of "black metal":

Personally, I prefer "Death Metal" over "Black Metal", those Scandinavian "Black Metal" bands come off as more hilarious than the mighty metal legends "Spinal Tap" (Even the UK legends of "Black Metal" Venom-Who are absolutely hilarious...I mean if people took serious what Venom sang about they probably believe in the Easter Bunny, The Lucky Charms Leprechaun, Santa Claus & the Tooth Fairy)

Last year I interviewed a former Guantanamo prisoner. Apparently the music of choice amongst detainees is rap. So I suppose heavy metal, satanic or otherwise would be torture.
