The involvement of U.S. psychologists and their influence on torture in Cuba, Afghanistan and Iraq provides previously unrevealed evidence of U.S. torture and military tactical policy, and points to probable military goals the U.S. Administration has denied. What is revealed is that current torture has been designed and used, not so much for interrogation as the Administration and the media insist, but for control by terror. Further, Iraqi civilian deaths may be deliberate and for the same purpose. That is, discovery of involvement of the U.S. psychological professions is a clue to torture, and perhaps killing, as policy, not accident.
美国心理学家的参与及其对古巴、阿富汗和伊拉克酷刑的影响,为美国的酷刑和军事战术政策提供了此前未披露的证据,并指向了美国政府否认的可能的军事目标。所揭示的是,当前的酷刑设计和使用,并非如政府和媒体所坚称的那样主要用于审讯,而是用于恐怖控制。此外,伊拉克平民的死亡可能是蓄意的,且出于同样的目的。也就是说,发现美国心理学专业人士的参与是一条线索,表明酷刑乃至杀戮可能是一种政策,而非偶然。
