At some point after the AMA and the psychiatrists' org dropped out, the APA convened a special panel to produce a position paper on interrogations. The requisite number of people were invited to participate.
When they got there, they were told that they couldn't take notes of the session. They were given a draft of a paper and told to discuss it.
They didn't know that the panel was stacked with Pentagon reps and didn't find out until later. This whole exercise was meant to produce a position paper written by the Pentagon.

APA Interrogation Task Force Member Dr. Jean Maria Arrigo Exposes Group’s Ties to Military
Dr. Jean Maria Arrigo was one of three civilian members of an APA task force that concluded psychologists were playing a “valuable and ethical role” in assisting the military. It was later revealed that that six of nine voting members were from the military and intelligence agencies with direct connections to interrogations at Guantanamo and elsewhere. At this weekend’s annual convention Dr. Arrigo exposed the inner workings of the group in an extraordinary speech.
