Sound as a weapon is explored here. Warning: Some of the material included has been used by agents for the United States to torture suspected terrorists. Songs include Dope's "Die MF Die" and "Take Your Best Shot," Eminem's "White America" and "Kim," the Barney & Friends theme song, Drowning Pool's Bodies, Metallica's "Enter Sandman," the Meow Mix commercial jingle, the "Sesame Street" theme song, David Gray's "Babylon," AC/DC's "Shoot to Thrill" and "Hell’s Bells," the Bee Gees' "Stayin’ Alive," Tupac's "All Eyez On Me," Christina Aguilera's "Dirrty," Neil Diamond's "America," Don McLean's "American Pie," Saliva's "Click Click Boom," Matchbox Twenty's "Cold," (hed)pe's "Swan Dive," Prince's "Raspberry Beret" and many others. Also tune in Gregory Whitehead's story "Project Jericho," about sound-as-weapon development. Plus, coverage of the recent use of the Long-Range Acoustic Device (LRAD) used against protesters in the United States. Hear about how the CIA played "Panama" by Van Halen over and over again outside Apostolic Nunciature of the Holy See in order to coax Panamanian dictator, Manuel Noriega, out for capture. More about sound cannons, "silent weapon technology," and other sounds used against enemies.
