Skinny Puppy have a claim to the U.S. government for using their songs in the interrogations made prisoners of Guantanamo Bay Cuba. In her claim a compensation of $ 666,000 (note the implicit number of the beast). The news came a week ago but it was not until reading it on the blog Ideologic which leads directly Stephen O'Malley , one of the leaders of Sunn O))), when I stopped to read it.

It is not new that the American military authorities used heavy metal in so-called re-education practices with prisoners, a euphemism for what is nothing more than pure and simple torture. We've seen it in films like Zero Dark Thirty and TV series like Homeland, and while not official is a secret.
I did not know the Canadian industrial band was that their music was among the team that usually handle U.S. military interrogation practices in their prisoners. The group headed Ogre found out about it through a fan that was guard at Guantanamo.
