Roy Eidelson, Truthout: ''In 2005, despite evidence that psychologists were involved in abusive and torturous interrogations of national security detainees, [the] American Psychological Association (APA) ... concluded that psychologists play a critical role in keeping such interrogations 'safe, legal, ethical and effective'....With this stance, the APA, the largest association of psychologists worldwide, became the sole major professional health care organization to support practices contrary to the international human rights standards that ought to be the benchmark against which professional codes of ethics are judged.''

Psychologists and Torture, Then and Now

Laura Melendez-Pallitto and Robert Pallitto, Foreign Policy in Focus: ''History repeats itself, first as tragedy and then as farce. The ?tragedy? occurred half a century ago when CIA-funded psychological research on electroshock treatment, sensory deprivation and the like found its way into the Agency?s counterintelligence interrogation manual. The ?farce? was played post-9/11, as psychologists became involved once again in aiding counterintelligence interrogators?. Psychologists were complicit in designing and using techniques to break subjects rather than aid them, and in so doing they made a mockery of their ethical obligation to ?do no harm.?"

Americans oppose war: But does govt care?

With harsh US rhetoric and tensions around Irans' nuclear program snowballing by the hour, American polls nonetheless show that most Americans think a war with Tehran would be a grave mistake. But do the leaders care?

Negotiating a Landscape of Hypocrisy and Hungry Ghosts

Phil Rockstroh, Pacific Free Press: ''Still, both major U.S. political parties remain unmoved by the opinions of their constituents and unresponsive to their needs. To vote for either a Democratic or Republican candidate (i.e., the well vetted stooges of the 1%) is to cast a vote in favor of the only political party allowed in the rigged process: The Big Money, Perpetual War Party.''
