Psychologists Vote to End Interrogation Consultations
Members of the American Psychological Association have voted to stop consulting military and C.I.A. interrogators about Guantanamo Bay interrogation procedures. There has long been an ethical debate over the APA’s involvement with the process. Both military and civilian psychologists have expressed the positives and negatives in their association with Guantanamo Bay, citing that without their input, interrogations could easily become abusive. For now, the prohibition has left most psychologists satisfied with the decision.
Do you agree with the APA’s decision?
