Former inmates at Guantanamo have previously testified that songs from AC/DC, Britney Spears, the Bee Gees and Sesame Street were played as part of a psychological onslaught. A jingle for a cat food and the theme tune for Barney, a dinosaur children’s television character, were also pumped into cells in the facility in Cuba. Thomas Blanton, executive director of the National Security Archive, which has filed the freedom of information request, said: “At Guantanamo, the US government turned a jukebox into an instrument of torture.”
