From today's Inside Higher Ed:
"The Society for Ethnomusicology has issued a statement
<http://webdb.iu.edu/sem/scripts/aboutus/aboutsem/positionstatements/position_statement_torture.cfm>
condemning the use of music as a means to torture or psychologically
abuse prisoners. The society "is committed to the ethical uses of music
to further human understanding and to uphold the highest standards of
human rights," the statement says. The scholarly group decided to
announce its views after learning of reports
<http://www.sibetrans.com/trans/trans10/cusick_eng.htm> about the use of
music as part of efforts to interrogate or humiliate prisoners."
