Psychology Body Rejects Torture Case Against Guantánamo Bay Doctor
The American Psychological Association has rejected a complaint against a psychologist involved in the torture of prisoners at Guantánamo Bay. Dr. John Leso took part in the interrogation of Mohammed al-Qahtani, whose terror charges were later dropped because of the brutality he endured. Speaking to Democracy Now! in 2011, Dr. Steven Reisner of the Coalition for an Ethical Psychology said Leso helped design the harsh techniques applied during Qahtani’s interrogation.
Dr. Steven Reisner: "The increasingly harsh techniques included isolation, sleep deprivation, extreme cold, sexual and religious humiliation — the whole gamut of techniques used individually and together. And the interrogation lasted for about a month and a half."
In its decision, the American Psychological Association did not deny Leso’s involvement in torture, saying only, "we have determined that we cannot proceed" with the case. A number of Leso’s colleagues had campaigned for his censure.
This does not say a lot,,, seems like they cannot "proceed",,,At least we have one name who should be put on trial,, not only for what he did in Guantánamo Bay.
,,, we understand torture does not work,, except DEW does,,,
I wonder why the shrinks adopted this as their stance,,,, are they under the thumb of the gov't? Or is it to save their own asses,,or much of both..? This is from Democracynow.org from a few days,, from this date this blog was written
I also spoke with and listened to Alda's chat and call and she spoke with some Microsoft engineers and show them in real time what is happeneing to her computer, John said it won't matter because Microsoft is in the gov't ball bag...I saaw Bill Gates on Charlie Rose's show a week ago,I should of listened but attention span because of the harassment has greatly lessened....That is whay toruture does to you, you can't read, you can't for the most part write,, this is not long... you can't concentrate, your all over the place, and they will not let you get out of this circle of sleep deprivation and torture... This is my world and they put me in this jar..I was under the misconception, I had free speech, thats a joke,, that I was free, but that was another joke,,, our gov't has perpetuated on the unclean , stupid masses, as we are known as... When all this first began for me,, I was told v2k,,some of us common folk are pretty smart,, they were surprised I had a brain, The were surprised I could think,,,that was from the Lehrer Newshour when Jim was in charge,,the head talking head..lol This was when I first met them,, they did not know any common women,,like me... AH shit,,,this is what got me into trouble in the first place,,,,
I sent them my treasures,,, I was forced to send them my treasures as punishment for emailing them all the time, when all this harassment first started and I did not understand what was going on,I kept asking, they kept ignoring me,,,,, I was told Jim took the tobacco jar from Italy,,it was really beautiful and signed.. I wonder if he still has it.
