It was brought to my attention only yesterday by lead singer, vocalist, guitarist and producer of the band Nine Inch Nails, Trent Reznor of music being used for torture. In Trent’s blog his words are.
“It's difficult for me to imagine anything more profoundly insulting, demeaning and enraging than discovering music you've put your heart and soul into creating has been used for purposes of torture.
If there are any legal options that can be realistically taken they will be aggressively pursued, with any potential monetary gains donated to human rights charities.
Thank GOD this country has appeared to side with reason and we can put the Bush administration's reign of power, greed, lawlessness and madness behind us.” -Trent Reznor
I am disgusted to hear that someone could do this and cause such pain with a product that is used to be consumed to feel good. I worry to hear how leaders of this world are “leading” us forward through time!?
“Plenty lost their minds
The experience was overwhelming for many. Binyam Mohammed, now a prisoner at Guantanamo Bay, said men held with him at the CIA’s “Dark Prison” in Afghanistan wound up screaming and smashing their heads against walls, unable to endure more.”
“Musicians don’t want tunes used for torture”
Nine Inch Nails, even ‘Sesame Street’ theme used for interrogations

I will now sign off and leave you with one song from one of NIN live shows and how music is enjoyed responsibly.
