The United States and its military should immediately ban the use of torture, and psychologists should be expressly prohibited from using their expertise to plan, design, assist, or participate in interrogations that make use of torture and other forms of cruel, inhumane, or degrading treatment. The use of torture as an interrogation device is contrary to ethical standards of conduct for psychologists and is in violation of international law. Torture is ineffective as a means of extracting reliable information, and likely leads to faulty intelligence. www.spssi.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=page.viewpage&pageid=1460Canada's use of torture data sparks outcry AFPAFP – 1 hr 1 min ago According a directive obtained by Canadian media through an access to information request, Ottawa ordered its spy service in 2010 not to discard information gleaned from torture abroad, after it had publicly insisted it would not use "tainted" information. Opposition MPs on Tuesday seized on the policy reversal to suggest that the Conservative government was turning a blind eye to torture. news.yahoo.com/canadas-torture-data-sparks-outcry-183310022.html
