I felt sick when I first learned the American Psychological Association had a role in the torture.

http://www.apa.org/ethics/code/ - doesn't seem to have been followed all that well.

I've read so many articles of the horrific conditions and treatment at many of these black sites, many times for prisoners who were trapped for bounty or crossed the wrong border - never charged with a crime, never allowed to contact worried loved ones for years and years, caged and tortured with the blessing, apparently, of lawyers, politicians, psychologists. My question is, who the * made them think they were so powerful they could destroy souls and lives this way. It takes evil hearts and minds to permit and enforce what they did. None of these people deserve to be anywhere but prison themselves.
