Seventy years after the Nuremberg Doctors' Trial, health professionals and lawyers working together after 9/11 played a critical role in designing, justifying, and carrying out the US state-sponsored torture program in the CIA "Black Sites" and US military detention centers, including Abu Ghraib, Bagram, and Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. We analyze the similarities between the Nazi doctors and health professionals in the War on Terror and address the question of how it happened that health professionals, including doctors, psychologists, physician assistants, and nurses, acted as agents of the state to utilize their medical and healing skills to cause harm and sanitize barbarous acts, similar to (though not on the scale of) how Nazi doctors were used by the Third Reich.
在纽伦堡医生审判70年后，9·11事件后共同合作的医疗专业人员和律师在设计、论证并实施美国政府支持的中情局“黑狱”及美国军事拘留中心（包括伊拉克的阿布格莱布监狱、阿富汗的巴格拉姆空军基地和古巴的关塔那摩湾拘留营）的酷刑计划中发挥了关键作用。我们分析了纳粹医生与反恐战争中的医疗专业人员之间的相似之处，并探讨了包括医生、心理学家、医师助理和护士在内的医疗专业人员如何成为政府的工具，利用他们的医疗和治愈技能造成伤害并为野蛮行为开脱，这与纳粹医生被第三帝国利用的情况类似（尽管规模不同）。
