Doctors and psychologists the CIA employed to monitor its "enhanced interrogation" of terror suspects came close to, and may even have committed, unlawful human experimentation, a medical ethics watchdog has alleged.
Physicians for Human Rights (PHR), a non-profit group that has investigated the role of medical personnel in alleged incidents of torture at Guantánamo, Abu Ghraib, Bagram and other US detention sites, accuses doctors of being far more involved than hitherto understood.
PHR says health professionals participated at every stage in the development, implementation and legal justification of what it calls the CIA's secret "torture programme".
The American Medical Association, the largest body of physicians in the US, said it was in open dialogue with the Obama administration and other government agencies over the role of doctors. "The participation of physicians in torture and interrogation is a violation of core ethical values," it said.
The most incendiary accusation of PHR's latest report, Aiding Torture, is that doctors actively monitored the CIA's interrogation techniques with a view to determining their effectiveness, using detainees as human subjects without their consent. The report concludes that such data-gathering was "a practice that approaches unlawful experimentation".

Let us know when it actually gets there, you POS...now all the libs will be crying Nazi Concentration Camp Experimentation...rotten lying bstrds...
Looks like our Speakers work on proving the CIA are liars.
Al Qaeda experimented with removing peoples’ heads while they were alive.
I don’t recall the human rights’ groups denouncing Al Qaida.
Like that matters.
PHR is a Soros front.
“Physicians for Human Rights” = 3 med school flunkies living in a basement with a fax machine.
The doctors were there to make sure the prisoners got medication when they were sick, were getting could nutritious meals, were getting plenty of excercise and sleep.
From folks I have spoken to that lived and worked down there (3 of them), the prisoners were in better shape than the guards.
Bravo Sierra!
Approaching means nothing.
The Dems are going to push this until it ends in
violence. God may have built a self destruct program into
leftists. They don’t know when to stop talking.
Probably went to med school in Cuba!
What new lows these folks won’t reach to further their agenda?
I see them breathless with the potential end of the United States of America!
Come on. It’s the Guardian.
About as believable as Al Gore and the Obamaloon.

I really dont understand why obama and company want to break down all our defence structures,,, but leaves the Black Panther’s scott free to do as they want and wish.
Anyone who wants to destroy america, he supports....
yet we the stupid populace think its okay to keep him on as “president” of America....all his acts are treasonous.
Should be impeached for that reason.
Oh please!....What the hell is this?....Obama’s Twilight Zone?
OK. The speed limit is 70 MPH. I'm driving 68 MPH. There is no doubt that I'm approaching unlawful behavior. Shame on me.
That’s what I thought.
I wish this ‘human rights’ groups would investigate the Muslim Murderers!
