Louisiana State Board Sued for Not Probing Psychologist Tied to Torture
-----------------------------------------------------------------------



A Louisiana state board has been sued for failing to investigate
possible professional and ethical violations committed by Larry James,
who served as the chief psychologist at Guantanamo Bay and Abu Ghraib.
The lawsuit alleges that James, a retired Army colonel, helped design
and implement the Bush administration’s harsh interrogation programs.
Larry James is a licensed psychologist in Louisiana. He is now the dean
of Wright State University’s School of Professional Psychology in
Dayton, Ohio. The lawsuit against the Louisiana State Board of Examiners
of Psychologists was filed by an Ohio-based psychologist named Trudy
Bond.
