in terror suspects' interrogation -- as some members still push for
change.

You can help stamp out abuse and torture being engaged in by American
Psychologists by demanding your psychologist sign the following on-line
petition:
Online Petition against APA aka Koocher's Kooks policy
We, the Undersigned, endorse the following petition:
Against Psychologists' Participation in Interrogation of 'Enemy
Combatants'
Target: Gerald Koocher, President, American Psychological Association
Sponsor: Stephen Soldz, Member, Section 9, Division 39, American
Psychological AssocSignatures: 1,486
Please sign the following petition if you want to be among a group of
psychologists and APA members who unequivocally state opposition to the
participation of psychologists in the interrogation processes at
Guantánamo and other similar facilities in which detainees are denied
the protection of either due process or Geneva Convention monitoring.
As a profession aimed at improving the human condition built upon a
respect for human dignity, we believe that our shared base of
psychological knowledge should not be used to further what is, at
minimum, abusive treatment and, at worst, torture. We call upon the
American Psychological Association to direct its members to desist from
participating in and consulting to interrogations at Guantánamo and
similar facilities.
