Article

This isn't a very long article but I thought it was interesting, http://www.omg-facts.com/History/After-9-11-The-CIA-Used-Eminem-s-Slim-Sh/51797?lp=1

I only looked at the first article because they are all very different. This one is about The CIA using music as a torture technique to get terrorists to give up information. Even though water-boarding is an extremely effective technique the CIA decided to also use a type of music torture. By playing songs like "Enter Sandman" by Metallica and "Bodies" by Drowning Pool those being interrogated would begin to feel uneasy and accidentally give up important information.

This isn't really a opinion based article or an argumentative one, the author is simply stating a fact about something that not many people may know about the CIA. This short piece does make me wonder about the affects of music on people. If it causes those who have never heard it before to have anxiety issues and feel jittery then should we really be listening to it as well? It's something that I want to look u more about now.
