Referendum on Torture: Debate Over Role of Psychologists in Military Interrogations Comes to a Head at APA Annual Convention

The debate over the role that psychologists should play in military interrogations heated up this weekend at the annual convention of the American Psychological Association. After years of back-and-forth discussion and several resignations from the association, APA members are now voting on a referendum that could make any participation in coercive prisoner interrogations a violation of their code of ethics. Meanwhile, California became the first state in the nation to officially condemn the participation of health professionals—including psychologists—in coercive interrogations of prisoners in the so-called war on terror.

John McCain
Town Hall
Las Cruces, NM 08/20/08

TRANSCRIPT:
INTERVIEWER: Could you tell me a little about why you're here?

ALICE ANDERSON: I am here because the candidate Sen. McCain is here and I disagree with some of his votes in the senate. In particular, I disagree with his voting to authorize the Military Comissions act, which legalized torture and is particularly inappropriate for a man who was for five years a victim of torture to vote for torturing other people.

[ . . . ]

INTERVIEWER: Is there anything else you'd like to add?

ANDERSON: Let us remember American veterans. John McCain does not stand for American veterans. He stands for torture and cruelty and irresponsibility.

Authors@Google: Amos Guiora

2008-10-07T22:41:34Z

Amos Guiora visits Google's Mountain View, CA headquarters to discuss his book "Constitutional Limits on Coercive Interrogation." This event took place on August 18, 2008, as part of the Authors@Google series.

In The Constitutional Limits of Coercive Investigation, Amos Guiora offers a theoretical analysis and a practical application of coercive interrogation, and in doing so, suggests developing and implementing a hybrid paradigm based on American criminal law, the Geneva Convention, and the Israeli model of trial as the most relevant judicial regime. Guiora offers a unique contribution to the public debate by creatively utilizing a historical analysis of the system of "justice" for African-Americans in the Deep South of the past century to serve as a guide for the constitutional rights and protections which need to be granted or extended to an unprotected class. He then indicates which interrogation methods are within the boundaries of the law by both recommending protection of the detainees and providing interrogators with the tools required to protect America's vital interests.

Amos N. Guiora is professor of law at The S. J. Quinney College of Law, University of Utah. Guiora testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee regarding his proposal advocating the establishment of a domestic terror court in the US. He has testified as an expert witness at a hearing before the House of Representatives Homeland Security Committee's Subcommittee on Intelligence, Information and Terrorism Risk Assessment. As an expert commentator, he is frequently interviewed and quoted and has been published in the national and international media, including CNN, The Washington Post, PBS, The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, BBC, C-Span, The Christian Science Monitor, and Fox TV.

Authors@Google: Jane Mayer

2008-10-07T18:41:44Z

Jane Mayer in conversation about her new, best-selling book, "The Dark Side: The Inside Story of How the War on Terror Turned into a War on American Ideals." This event took place at Google's Mountain View, CA headquarters on August 8, 2008 as part of the Authors@Google program.

The Dark Side is a dramatic, riveting, and definitive narrative account of how the United States made terrible decisions in the pursuit of terrorists around the world--decisions that not only violated the Constitution to which White House officials took an oath to uphold, but also hampered the pursuit of Al Qaeda. In gripping detail, acclaimed New Yorker writer and bestselling author, Jane Mayer, relates the impact of these decisions—U.S.-held prisoners, some of them completely innocent, were subjected to treatment more reminiscent of the Spanish Inquisition than the twenty-first century.

Jane Mayer is the co-author of two bestselling and critically acclaimed narrative nonfiction books, Landslide: The Unmaking of the President, 1984-1988, and Strange Justice: The Selling of Clarence Thomas, the latter of which was a finalist for the National Book Award. Mayer was also awarded the prestigious Guggenheim Fellowship in connection with The Dark Side. She is currently a Washington-based staff writer for The New Yorker, specializing in political and investigative reporting. Before that, she was a senior writer and front-page editor for The Wall Street Journal, as well as the Journal's first female White House correspondent.

Charlie Rose: Jane Mayer and Philip Gourevitch Talk Torture

There has been significant debate about the United States' tactics in the fight against terrorism and how they have undermined America's moral authority. Recently, I spoke with two authors who have new books out on the subject. Jane Mayer is an investigative reporter for The Yew Yorker. Her book is called The Dark Side: The Inside Story of How the War on Terror Turned Into a War on American Ideals. Philip Gourevitch, editor of the Paris Review, co-authored the book Standard Operating Procedure. Here is a part of my conversation with each of them.

Speech
Aspen, CO 08/14/08

TRANSCRIPT:
[...]
WALTER ISAACSON: But you called that [Guantanamo Bay] the worst decision in history?

JOHN MCCAIN: No I didn't. No, no. Sometimes I'm given to a little hyperbole as you--

[audience laughs]

ISAACSON: Ok, Ok, I'll let you off the hook then.

MCCAIN: --As you, as you've already noticed. I thought it was a bad decision. But I also think we can fix it, and I think we may have been able to prove to the courts, if we can move forward with these judicial proceedings--which some in the media described as a "blow to the Bush administration" because it was a light sentence, I thought it was justice. And so I hope we can move forward with more trials and that way convince the Court. [...]
