CIA torture: Who are the medical professionals who umpired in this theatre of human misery?

CIA torture: Who are the medical professionals who umpired in this theatre of human misery? - Comment - Voices - The Independent
At Freedom from Torture we see more than 1000 torture survivors a year for psychological counselling. I can attest from years of clinical practice, seeing clients who have been subjected to ‘waterboarding’ or other forms of partial-asphyxiation that these do indeed amount to torture. I also know only too well from my clients’ testimony that torture does not result in reliable information – they would have said anything to make the torture stop.
