This video describes the troubling role that psychologists and the American Psychological Association (APA) have played in supporting the harsh interrogations and torture of detainees at Guantanamo Bay and other national security settings. The information presented was obtained from official reports and other now-public documents.

I remember when Democracy Now was covering the multiple failed votes for the APA to ban it's members from participating in torture. The result always felt like a marketing plan. They just passed the resolution, changed 'leadership,' and kept right on going.

It is such a miscarriage of justice. Has your doctor or psychologist listened to the screams of tortured men, women, and children? PLANNED for them? Covered up murder, rape, and war crimes?

Sad to say, those are now valid questions.
