APA Complicity in Torture Inconsistent with Medical Ethics, Says Miles

An independent review has found the American Psychological Association (APA) collaborated in secret with the CIA to weaken guidelines for the treatment of prisoners at Guantanamo Bay during interrogation. Steven Miles, MD, of Consortium member the Center for Bioethics was widely quoted in the media discussing the report. In an editorial published in the Guardian newspaper, Miles explains how the APA's "silent, shameful complicity with torture" threatens the core values of the medical field.
