Breeezy discovered 3 months ago- From the page: "Imagine, a candidate for president who, a year or so ago, no one would have considered electable. Now the person is the front-runner, with a groundswell of grass-roots support, threatening the sense of inevitability of the Establishment candidates. No, Iâ€m not talking about the U.S. presidential race, but the race for president of the largest association of psychologists in the world, the American Psychological Association (APA). At the heart of the election is a raging debate over torture and interrogations. While the other healing professions, including the American Medical Association and the American Psychiatric Association, bar their members from participating in interrogations, the APA leadership has fought against such a restriction."

- In October of this year the American Psychological Association (APA) will vote for their new president. The main issues during these elections will be torture, interrogation and most importantly "the use of psychologists to oversee abusive and coercive interrogations of prisoners at Guantanamo, secret CIA black sites or anywhere else international law or the Geneva Conventions are said not to apply." The current APA leadership refuses to bar their members who participate in such actions in contrast to other medical and psychiatric associations.
