Issue previously discussed at http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2063084/posts . The Federal government must ensure that no psychologist's license is revoked merely for participating in military interrogations, unless he is shown in court to have violated the law.

Adios to these quacks. They have their hands full writing psychotropic scrips for young children anyway.

Psychologists...

Not exactly the folks I want determining what moral behavior is when it comes to how we handle terrorist detainees.

Well, whatever, give me and a couple of buddies 15 minutes ~ tops! ~ alone in a "discussion room" with any one of these pukes and we'll do some "planning discussions" with them at HALF THE RATE the pros charge.

I see no need to waste perfectly good government money on prissy psychologists when there's plenty of willing volunteers to take care of this problem.

This is a political rather than a professional medical judgment. Its as consequential as the finding that homosexuality is not an aberrant mental disorder.

I don’t recall them decrying the psyops used at Waco to drive David Koresh nuts.

What is it about advanced education that causes some to lose their bearings?

If patriotism and working to further the interests of their own country is a bit too crude for them, if they consider their first duty is as citizens of the world rather than citizens of the USA, I encourage them to just move to Europe where they won’t have to brush shoulders with people who still put America first.

Fine, we’ll do it without your so-called ‘consultation’. You’re a bunch of morons anyway.

[Gator113]

Dump them, they’re not needed.

Anyone else feel that it might be an error to declare any sort of war on the CIA?

What needs to be done is that because the association is interfering in national security, congress needs to pass a law stipulating that licensing by the American Psychological Association cannot be a requirement for any job that receives federal funding.

American Psychological Association collapses and a new professional association takes over that learns to keep it's nose out of national security issues.

Psychologists have turned their profession into glorified social workers.

I would suggest steering clear of most Psychologists, and half of Psychiatrists.
