There are no words. Only rage and sorrow.

Via [personal profile] wcg, Medics performed 'interrogation research'.

Medical personnel on the payroll of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) participated in experimentation and research on detainees during interrogations following the US terror attacks of 11 September 2001 according to an independent report released today. The actions documented in the report took place during the administration of President George W. Bush and contravene principles of research ethics set out in the Nuremburg Code, including those explicitly stated by the US government.

If you're going to even attempt to defend this to me? Don't. Just don't.

The thing that bothers me is, one justification for torture was that we were not as bad as the terrorists.

"Not as bad" somehow became equivalent to "good."
