AMERICAN PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION HELPED JUSTIFY TORTURE "The American Psychological Association secretly collaborated with the administration of President George W. Bush to bolster a legal and ethical justification for the torture of prisoners swept up in the post-Sept. 11 war on terror, according to a new report by a group of dissident health professionals and human rights activists."

The involvement of health professionals enabled the Justice Department to argue in secret opinions that the Bush-era interrogation program was legal.
