Springsteen torture at Camp X-Ray
01Mar04
A TERROR suspect freed from Guantanamo Bay has told of cruel and unusual punishment.
Hamed Abderrahman Ahmad, a Spaniard who denies any links with terrorism, said he had to wrap his head in a damp towel to try to muffle loud tapes of Born in the USA.
Mr Ahmad said he was confined to a small cell where the lights were always on and he was forced to listen endlessly to Bruce Springsteen.
"First I spent a month in a cell two metres square that had a roof of sheet iron, with unbearable heat," he said.
"All day they blared patriotic American music. It was Born in the USA. We had to put wet towels on our heads to be able to bear the heat and not hear the music . . .
"Later they put us in even smaller cells."

Can't you just die having to wait for some breathless media moron to go ask Bruce what he thinks of this news? And Bruce, the self-important, pompous ass that he is, WILL issue a "statement".
My advice, if the gu7y won't break, crank up the John Tesh....

Man, that IS cruel punishment. Next they'll make them listen to Kinky Friedman's "They don't make Jews like Jesus anymore..."

Practically any post-1980 Springsteen is torture.

Not "The Boss." God, we are issuing cruel and unusual punishment. The torture sounds unbearable. I'm glad it's not me. I'd break under the strain. :)

They're saving 'Feelings' for the real hard-to-crack cases.

Big deal. Just wait 'til they start looping "Streets of Philadelphia". Now that's torture.

I thought they always wore towels on their heads, and living in the desert, my bet is that they were often wet. We were just making them feel at home.
