The US Department of Defense (WP) authorized Behavioral Science Consultation Teams to study the detainees it holds in extrajudicial detention (WP).[1]
The teams are controversial because some critics consider their participation in what is called enhanced interrogation (WP) of detainees a breach of medical ethics.[2] Such was the consternation of the American Psychological Association that it released the "Reaffirmation of the American Psychological Association Position Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman, or Degrading Treatment or Punishment and Its Application to Individuals Defined in the United States Code as “Enemy Combatants" to make clear that any torture (WP) and other cruel, Inhuman, or degrading treatment was unethical, whatever the situation.[3]
As always, the phrase 'war on terror' (WP) is invoked, attempting to justify what were unthinkable means even as far back as the Second World War, when the phrase used to squelch dissent against the war was, "don't you know there's a war on?". The original phrase makes a comeback occasionally; [4]
