Is completely ethically right to involve physicians in military investigations? If you don't think it is, how much should they be able to influence investigations?

width=290>A recent <EM>New England Journal of Medicine</EM> article questions 
the ethics of psychiatrists being involved in interrogations. In 2006 the 
American Psychiatric Association (APA), the American Medical Association (AMA), 
and the American Psychological Association (APA) issued statements that it is 
unethical for doctors and psychologists to be directly involved in the 
interrogation process. Directly involved also includes viewing the interrogation 
with the “intention of intervening.” Physicians are allowed to train 
interrogation personnel but are not supposed to tailor interrogation protocols 
to specific prisoners or detainees.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/46CC1268-85B1-4C8D-831A-80BA62B7A6CA/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
