American Psychological Assoc. Bans Participation in Torture Programs 
---------------------------------------------------------------------


 
The board of the American Psychological Association has voted nearly
unanimously to adopt a new policy barring psychologists from
participating in national security interrogations. The new rules come
after an independent investigation documented how the APA leadership
actively colluded with the Pentagon and the CIA torture programs. We'll
have more on the vote later in the broadcast.
