Ethics group claims CIA doctors used "human experimentation" during torture sessions

Talkleft:


About those doctors who attended the CIA interrogation sessions at which enhanced technigues, aka torture, were used:

Physicians for Human Rights (PHR), a non-profit group that has investigated the role of medical personnel in alleged incidents of torture at Guantánamo, Abu Ghraib, Bagram and other US detention sites, accuses doctors of being far more involved than hitherto understood.

....The most incendiary accusation of PHR's latest report, Aiding Torture, is that doctors actively monitored the CIA's interrogation techniques with a view to determining their effectiveness, using detainees as human subjects without their consent. The report concludes that such data-gathering was "a practice that approaches unlawful experimentation".

Most of these reports were already told by victims who were released after 7 years of torture. Countries have printed with pictures and doctors reports how the US treated the detainees like they did in Hitlers time. We will learn more and it will be worse. It's when you hear what we did to woman and children with will make you pray for God to forgive the USA.
