WASHINGTON — A coalition of mega-bands and singers outraged that music — including theirs — was cranked up to help break uncooperative detainees at Guantanamo Bay is joining retired military officers and liberal activists to rally support for President Barack Obama's push to shutter the Navy-run prison for terrorist suspects in Cuba.
Pearl Jam, R.E.M., and Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails are among the musicians who have joined the National Campaign to Close Guantanamo, which launched Tuesday.
On behalf of the campaign, the National Security Archive in Washington is filing a Freedom of Information Act request seeking classified records that detail the use of loud music as an interrogation device.

JACKSON, Ohio - The father of a 4-year-old boy who shot
and wounded a teen with a shotgun said he removed firearms
from his Ohio home following the incident. The boy,
apparently angry at 17-year-old Nathan Beavers, loaded a
shotgun and fired it at the youth, spraying pellets in
his arm and leg, the Columbus (Ohio) Dispatch reported
