Three senior officials lose their jobs at APA after US torture scandal (The Guardian)
"As the American Psychological Association copes with the damage reaped by an independent investigation that found it complicit in US torture, the group announced on Tuesday that its chief executive officer, its deputy CEO and its communications chief are no longer with the APA.
All three were implicated in the 542-page report issued this month by former federal prosecutor David Hoffman, who concluded that APA leaders “colluded” with the US department of defense and aided the CIA in loosening professional ethics and other guidelines to permit psychologist participation in torture."
Ah well if they lost their jobs all is well then ! My personal opinion is that a slap on the wrist for torture is not enough. No prison, nothing ? What's to stop the next guy from doing the same ? "Worst case, if we're caught and found guilty, we'll need to do find a new job, maybe do conferences for a while"
