A slender majority of members in the American Psychiatric Association have voted in favor of a resolution that forbids members from aiding in torture. This was spurred by the complicity of APA members in conducting torture-based interrogation at Guantanamo Bay and other American and American-affiliated secret prisons: The ban means those who are American Psychological Association members can't assist the U.S. Military at these sites. They can only work there for humanitarian purposes or with non-governmental groups, according to Stephen Soldz, a Boston psychologist. Soldz is founder of an ethics coalition that has long supported the ban... Psychologists have been involved in decisions that approve of coercion methods, including "taking away comfort items like clothes and toilet paper from detainees" to help extract information from them, Soldz said. He said that some even declined to diagnose post-traumatic stress in detainees because that would suggest detainees had been abused or harmed while in custody. ... Whereas the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Mental Health and the UN Special Rapporteur on Torture have determined that treatment equivalent to torture has been taking place at the United States Naval Base at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba.

The Limits of American Power and Civil-Military Relations A Framework for Discussion by Thomas Donnelly The Limits of American Power and Civil-Military Relations (Full PDF Article) It has been fascinating to follow the discussion sparked by Andy Bacevich’s short but incisive piece on “The Petraeus Doctrine” in the Atlantic . However, two elements of the essay have been overlooked. Bacevich’s core complaints are less about the structure of the U.S. Army (or the Military more broadly) or its operational doctrine than they are about the underlying issues of the limits of American power and civil-Military relations. The analysis of the John-Nagl-versus-Gian-Gentile debate is merely a framework for these larger questions. Take the second question first. Bacevich concludes with what he rightly describes as “the biggest question of all.” That is, in the American democracy, do the essential choices about war rest with soldiers or civilians? The presumption he makes, however, that the decision to prosecute the Long War has been delegated to the Military, isn’t correct: rather, it’s been the Military (with top-cover from former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld) that’s been trying to dodge the decision. One may well argue that the Bush Administration has made unwise choices, but they are undeniably choices that have been validated by the American political process. Bacevich has elsewhere argued that the course of events since the 2006 election ... Source: 02varvara.wordpress.com --- 34 days ago

Follow the money THE rumours and accusations of American involvement, swirling for months, have always been flatly denied. Now there are calls for a full and formal investigation of exactly who has funded Libertas, the policy group that played a high-profile role in pushing for Ireland's rejection of the Lisbon treaty.Hans-Gert Poettering, president of the European Parliament, is demanding a probe into Libertas, its founder Declan Ganley and ties to the American Military. Mr Poettering said he and his colleagues have "huge concerns" about Libertas, its fund-raising and future plans. As noted in this blog earlier in the month, Mr Ganley has toyed with the notion of turning Libertas into a political party that could field a slate of candidate's in next year's European elections.A rich Irishman who ...

Talk about provocative. Not only did Venezuela's foreign minister reiterate today that Russia and his nation would conduct joint war games in Caribbean waters just a few hundred miles from America's shores later this year, he also chose an interesting venue to emphasize the news, just as Russian ships entered the Atlantic Ocean : the Islamic Republic of Iran, where he was hobnobbing with top Iranian officials. At a joint press conference with his Iranian counterpart Manouchehr Mottaki today, Venezuelan Foreign Minister Nicolas Maduro told reporters that in November and December 2008, a contingent of the Russian fleet will come to Venezuelan waters to conduct war exercises. He also said that Iran and Venezuela were tightening bilateral relations "on a daily basis" in order to become role models for other developing countries (and, presumably, any country with an ax to grind against the U.S.). "We have lots of industrial, petrochemical and manufacturing relations with Iran," Maduro told reporters. "We produce Iranian tractors in Venezuela and sell the tractors to Honduras, Haiti and Nicaragua." He also said Iran was building a cement plant in Venezuela and the two countries were seeking to open a joint investment fund and bank. Maduro, whose oil-ruch country is led by the populist Hugo Chavez, blamed America's economic troubles on the same neoliberal financial policies that he says brought Latin America to the edge of economic ru ...
