Doctors speak out against torture
Finally:
The American Psychological Association ruled Sunday that psychologists can no longer be associated with several interrogation techniques that have been used against terrorism detainees at U.S. facilities because the methods are immoral, psychologically damaging and counterproductive in eliciting useful information.
Psychologists who witness interrogators using mock executions, simulated drowning, sexual and religious humiliation, stress positions or sleep deprivation are required to intervene to stop such abuse, to report the activities to superiors and to report the involvement of any other psychologists in such activities to the association. It could then strip those professionals of their memberships.
The American Medical Association and the American Psychiatric Association have already taken equivalent positions. Now, if only we could get the American military and intelligence professionals to live up to their duty, we'd be getting somewhere.
