INTERROGATION 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.
They included isolation for up to 30 days, removal of clothing, exploiting individual phobias and "mild, non-injurious physical contact." Such methods were later revoked.
The quizzing of al-Qahtani often started at midnight, Time magazine reports. He was woken up by having water dripped on his head or Aguilera's music played.
At one point he was forced to watch a satirical puppet show concerning his involvement with al-Qaida.
An interrogation booth is decorated with pictures of September 11 victims, American flags and red lights, the magazine claims.
The US national anthem was played while al-Qahtani was forced to stand. After one all night session, he was reportedly allowed to sleep for four hours from 7am.
After being subjected to a drill known as Invasion of Space by a Female, he said he would tell the truth "to get out of here" and explained how he met bin Laden. In return, he was given a blanket and an air conditioner was turned off at his request.
NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition! Our chief weapon is surprise...surprise and fear...fear and surprise.... Our *two* weapons are fear and surprise...and ruthless efficiency.... Our *three* weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency...and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope.... Our *four*...no... *Amongst* our weapons.... Amongst our weaponry...are such elements as fear, surprise....I'll come in again.
I agree. She does have a pretty good voice. Much better than the typical pop singer.
What would be better is if they forced them to sing it in broken english for their fellow jihadists.
Video tape it and send it across the world.
Oh the horror! This must be worse than having one's gentitals shocked, being suspended by ropes so as to dislocate ones shoulders or being beaten nearly to death. /sarcasm
Oh the Humanity!
Oh my HD is stocked with anti-hippee ammunition then.
I guess making the prisoners sing "Oh Holy NIght "would be out of the question, eh?
LOL - Make them watch Monty Python's Deja Vu skit!

Yoko Ono
Do you mean Yoko Kanno?
As in The Seatbelts
Or is it somebody else that I have never heard of?
"After one all night session, he was reportedly allowed to sleep for four hours from 7am."
And this is supposed to be bad?
I was lucky to get 4 hours of sleep sometimes last year in college because of all the work I had to do. But, I did it anyway because I had to. It wasn't torture.
I got along just fine. And, I am sure he did, too.
For any interested, here's a taste of vintage Shatner.
I heard his rendition of "Lucy" on my "Golden Throats" LP (various horrid celebrity renditions), used often to annoy noisy neighbors who crank up their stereos.
"What would be better is if they forced them to sing it in broken english for their fellow jihadists."
Are there midget jihadists? I think the video would only be good if it was true to the original version, dancing, singing, and midgets!!!!
They should have used John Kerry "I HAVE A PLAN" Speeches!
Tell me, how is that supposed to keep them awake?
yoko ono, john lennon's wife....
Yoko Ono, once married to Beatle John Lennon. She did an album in which she, literally, screeched for 30 minutes.
Oh, wow.
Thanks for the help
How about the Dixie Chicks? I think the their little ditty proclaiming "Earl's gotta die" especially appropriate.
