"A push to ban psychologists' role in torture" by Tania deLuzuriaga, Globe Staff | August 17, 2008
Holding signs that read, "Do no harm" and "Abolish torture," about 100 people attended a rally outside the American Psychological Association's annual convention yesterday, urging the organizations to ban its members from being involved in military interrogations and torture as part of the war on terrorism.
I'm actually surprised the Globe even covered this. Protesters? In AmeriKa?
A resolution to that effect is being weighed by the organization's 148,000 members, and debate on the topic has permeated the discussion at this year's meeting, held at the Boston Exhibition and Convention Center. Members are sending in their votes on the issue this month.
Debating torture? Pfft!
The actions of psychologists have been called into question lately as their role in the Bush administration's interrogation policies in detention centers around the globe increasingly has been made public.
Really? Where?
Psychologists have helped define lines of questioning for detainees, suggested techniques to get them to divulge information, and advised military personnel on when a person has had enough or when they should push harder in a confrontation. Some say such practices are tantamount to torture.
Translation: The "psychologists" HELPED DEVISE and OVERSEE the TORTURE REGIMEN!!!!
