Rage in Vain

This fucking broke my heart.

Using their music this way? Them, of all bands? All I can say is the people in charge of Gitmo don't get irony.

For the record: torture is an absolute evil and by engaging in it, USA has relinquished any claim they had to the moral high ground.

And James Hatfield, you're an asshole.

For more information on music as torture, check out the list that "broke" this story here (playlist here), and this very well thought out Guardian article about it here.

P.S I know this news is over a month old, making it obsolete in blogger terms. Too bad. I'm still upset about it so deal.

Edit: better article about it here. Good ol' brits doing our job for us.
