Dr Dre and Eminem: torture?

American Idol must be a crime against humanity.

U.S. Ran Afghan Torture Prison, Group Says
"It was pitch black, no lights on in the rooms for most of the time," he was quoted as telling his lawyer. "They hung me up. I was allowed a few hours of sleep on the second day, then hung up again, this time for two days."

Mohammad went on to say that he was forced to listen to Eminem and Dr. Dre for 20 days before the music was replaced by "horrible ghost laughter and Halloween sounds."

"The CIA worked on people, including me, day and night," he was quoted as saying. "Plenty lost their minds. I could hear people knocking their heads against the walls and the doors, screaming their heads off."

Are you sure they hadn't misplaced their minds already, Mohammed?

Chapter Eighteen Al Qaeda Manual
1 . At the beginning of the trial, once more the brothers must insist on proving that torture was inflicted on them by State Security [investigators ]before the judge.

2. Complain [to the court] of mistreatment while in prison.

4. The brother has to do his best to know the names of the state security officers, who participated in his torture and mention their names to the judge.[These names may be obtained from brothers who had to deal with those officers in previous cases.]

6. During the trial, the court has to be notified of any mistreatment of the brothers inside the prison.

Four out of the first six points suggest using groups like HRW as pawns. HRW is more than willing to play along.

Real torture in real gulags?
HRW could not care less.
