Psychologists Finally Say Something

After reading that comprehensive piece in the New Yorker on torture being perpetrated by Americans, with the help of psychologists, I was wondering if they'd ever get around to this:

The American Psychological Association “is poised to issue a formal condemnation of a raft of notorious interrogation tactics employed by U.S. authorities against detainees…from simulated drowning to sensory deprivation.” The administration has previously employed psychologists to develop its coercive torture tactics, and psychologists are “likely” to help implement President Bush’s July 20 executive order restarting a coercive CIA interrogation program.
Guess they had to analyze the situation or something .....
