Jim Coyne: Psychologists Get a Piece of the Torture Business

Writes James Coyne of the report in the Times about a Military change in strategy for who works on the military piece of interrogations:

It looks like Stephen Behnke, head of Ethics for American Psychological Association has successfully used APA's lack of effective ethical prohibitions against involvement in torture to get a bigger market share of the torture business. Nice going, Dr. Behnke. Marty Seligman, Dr Positive Psychology, has provided consultations related to applying the learned helplessness framework for these efforts.
