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. ...

According to newly released military documents, the Navy applied lawless Guantanamo protocols in detention facilities on American soil. The documents, which include regular emails between brig officers and others in the chain of command, uncover new details of the detention and Interrogation of two U.S. citizens and a legal resident -- Yaser Hamdi, Jose Padilla and Ali al-Marri -- at naval brigs in Virginia and South Carolina. The documents were obtained under the Freedom of Information Act by the Allard K. Lowenstein International Human Rights Clinic at Yale Law School and the American Civil Liberties Union. "Guantanamo was designed as a law-free zone, a place where the government could do whatever it wanted without having to worry about whether it was legal," said Jonathan Freiman, an attorney with the Lowenstein Clinic at Yale. "It didn't take long for that sort of lawlessness to be brought home to our own country. Who knows how much further America would have gone if the Supreme Court hadn't stepped in to stop incommunicado detentions in 2004?" According to the documents, Navy officers doubted the wisdom of applying Guantanamo rules on American soil. In particular, officers expressed grave concern over the effects of the solitary confinement imposed upon the three men detained at the brigs, a practice that was considered to be even more extreme than the isolation imposed at Guantanamo. Navy officers also exhibited frustration with ... Source: fvkeller.squarespace.com --- 8 days ago
“And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are the gift of God? That they are not to be violated but with his wrath? Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just: that his justice cannot sleep for ever.” -Thomas Jefferson , Notes on the State of Virginia, Query 18, 1781 Last night I watched the HBO documentary "Taxi To The Dark Side." I usually don’t watch these types of “documentaries" believing them to be leftwing media, ACLU-inspired propaganda. But for what ever reason I decided to watch this one. For those of you who like me, disagreed with the United States Supreme Court ruling to restore Guantanamo Bay detainees' rights under habeas corpus, a long-standing legal principle which allows the accused the right to challenge their imprisonment, make a point to see this powerful film. It will change your mind about the ruling, and probably your stance on “coerced Interrogation techniques.” Entertainment Weekly grades "Taxi To The Dark Side" an A minus. ...

Lt. Col. Darrel Vandeveld is at least the sixth JAG officer prosecuting cases in Guantanamo Bay to resign or request a transfer in protest of how the Pentagon is administering the tribunals. His letter of resignation was revealed late last month during proceedings in the case against accused enemy combatant Mohammed Jawad. Vandeveld quit because he was alarmed at what he says were gross due process violations in the Jawad case. From his letter: My ethical qualms about continuing to serve as a prosecutor relate primarily to the procedures for affording defense counsel discovery. I am highly concerned, to the point that I believe I can no longer serve as a prosecutor at the Commissions, about the slipshod, uncertain "procedure" for affording defense counsel discovery. One would have thought that after six years since the Commissions had their fitful start, that a functioning law office would have been set up and procedures and policies not only put into effect, but refined. Instead, what I found, and what I still find, is that discovery in even the simplest of cases is incomplete or unreliable. To take the Jawad case as only one example - a case where no intelligence agency had any significant involvement -- I discovered just yesterday that something as basic as agents' Interrogation notes had been entered into a database, to which I do not have personal access, on or about 11 August 2008. These and other examples too legion to li ... Source: www.nysun.com --- 21 days ago
In a dramatic turnaround that could strain the long-standing ties between the psychology profession and the military, the American Psychological Association has reversed its policy of encouraging members to assist in the Interrogation of suspected terrorists at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and other overseas prison sites. The professional association's new policy, which was reached by a referendum, goes beyond telling members, even those who are military personnel, that it is off-limits to participate... ...

The nation's leading psychologists' association has voted to ban its members from taking part in interrogations at the prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and other military detention sites where it believes international law is being violated. 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. "This is a repudiation by the membership of a policy that has been doggedly pursued by APA leadership for year after year," Soldz said Thursday. "The membership has now spoken and it's now incumbent upon APA to immediately implement this." The new policy should take effect at the association's next annual meeting in August 2009. However, its council likely will discuss whether to act sooner, said spokeswoman Rhea Farberman. The Interrogation ban brings the psychologists more in line with the American Medical Association and American Psychiatric Association. In 2005, the psychologists association adopted a position that said, for national security purposes, it was ethical to act as consultants for Interrogation and information-gathering. Psychologists have been involved in decisions that approve of coercion methods, including "taking away comfort items like clothes and toile ... Source: truthout.blip.tv --- 87 days ago
