The tactic has been common in the U.S. war on terror, with forces systematically using loud music on hundreds of detainees in Iraq, Afghanistan and Guantanamo Bay. A campaign being launched Wednesday Dec. 10, 2008 has brought together groups including Massive Attack and musicians such as Tom Morello, who played with Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave, featuring minutes of silence during concerts and festivals, said Chloe Davies of the British law group Reprieve, which represents dozens of Guantanamo Bay detainees and is organizing the campaign.
