From Wikileaks (via Vinay Gupta):
Judge rules two psychologists, Mitchell and Jessen, who made millions as consultants for the CIA's torture program can face trial.
How do you get into the business of being a torture consultant? Good question because when they started:
Neither man had ever carried out a real interrogation, had language skills or expertise on al Qaeda - the chief enemy in the war on terror - when the CIA handpicked Mitchell and Jessen to spearhead its supposed intelligence gathering program shortly after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Their psychology backgrounds were in family therapy; their Ph.D. dissertations were on high blood pressure.

Not the AMA! As a crazy person, you should know this! APA, the American Psychological Association, which was torn apart by what these war criminals did, and failed to do the right thing and blackball them. Hopefully the legal system will do what the professional organization so egregiously failed to. Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of torture-enablers!
