Madison— At its Annual Meeting this past weekend in Madison, the Wisconsin Medical Society (Society) affirmed its strong support for American Medical Association (AMA) policy against physician involvement in torture.

Recent media reports regarding the potential involvement of medical personnel in the torture of detainees held by the United States CIA prompted the AMA and the Society to send letters to President Barack Obama in the past few days.

The Society’s letter “unequivocally condemns the involvement of medical personnel in monitoring and /or participating in torture of anyone, at any time, under any circumstances.”

The AMA letter states, “any involvement by physicians in torture is fundamentally incompatible with the physician’s role as a healer.”

psychologists, not just medical doctors. What kind of laws permit this? The Rumsfeld-Cheney Act?

Like the nurse(s) who stood by while a teenager in custody was manhandled (somewhere in northern Florida). Medical and mental doctors are supposed to save people.

One thousand dollars a day.

What could be worse?

They probably believed in their super patriotism.
