The "Hypocritic" Oath?
These doctors apparently believe that it's a violation of the Hippocratic Oath for psychologists and psychiatrists to participate in the interrogation of enemy combatants at Guantanamo Bay.
That's interesting, because the interrogations that take place are done with the aim of preventing further terrorist attacks, and saving lives.
One can't help but wonder if the two authors, who are pretty clearly left-wingers, believe that it's a violation of any ethical standards for doctors to perform, say, partial birth abortions.

So many people talk about the prisoners at GITMO as if they are ordinary citizens picked up in a police raid and held without criminal charges.
Have I missed something?
I thought these were illegal combatants (non uniformed, hiding among and behind non-combatants, intentional capture and murder of non-combatants, etc.) captured on the battle field. I also thought that illegal combatants by definition have less rights than legal combatants.
I must be missing something.
Maybe illegal combatants, like illegal aliens, are supposed to enjoy all the rights and privileges of American citizens simply because the left thinks so.
And maybe anyone held in Guantanamo should be assumed to be guilty simply because George Dubya and his blind faithful say so. After all, how could we possibly have unjustly incarcerated anyone?
If the U.N. and Europe says so, it MUST be true, right?
Where exactly were these "innocent" civilians captured? Was it not on the battlefields of Afghanistan? Doesn't that make them prisoners of war instead of alleged criminals awaiting charges and trial?
I admit my ignorance on the legal issues here. But isn't it perfectly acceptable to capture the enemy and hold them as prisoners of war until the war is over?

Admitting that you have a problem is a big fist step, Greg. Keep up the good work.
