Washington, January 26 (RHC)-- The Pentagon has asked the American Psychological Association, the APA, to reverse its ban on involving psychologists in national security interrogations, including those at Guantánamo Bay and other prisons.
In August, the APA approved new rules barring its psychologists from participating in interrogations after an independent investigation showed how the APA leadership actively colluded with the Pentagon and the CIA torture programs.
In a letter and memo, the Pentagon asked the APA, which is the nation’s largest professional organization for psychologists, to reconsider its decision.
