In the report released by the Senate Intelligence Committee last week, some of the techniques the CIA performed on detainees in the wake of 9/11 in an effort to gather intelligence that could prevent additional terror attacks were identified.
One apparently successful technique was the use of sound disorientation, where certain types of music were used to prevent sleeping or to break the detainees down mentally.
Although no official "play list" was cited in the report, these songs have been identified by both U.S. military personnel and ex-detainees as those used during conditioning or interrogation:
Dope: "Die MF Die," "Take Your Best Shot"
Eminem: "White America," "Kim"
"Barney & Friends" theme song
Drowning Pool: "Bodies"
Metallica: "Enter Sandman"
"Meow Mix" commercial jingle
Deicide: "F*** Your God"
Janeane Garofalo/Ben Stiller: chapter from "Feel This" Audiobook
"Sesame Street" theme song
David Gray: "Babylon"
AC/DC: "Shoot to Thrill," "Hell's Bells"
Bee Gees: "Stayin' Alive"
Tupac: "All Eyez On Me"
Christina Aguilera: "Dirty"
Neil Diamond: "America"
Rage Against the Machine: (unspecified songs)
Don McLean: "American Pie"
