Coercion in Interrogations
Here is the assignment Coercion in Interrogations The American
Psychological Association (APA), the American Psychiatric Association,
and the American Medical Association all oppose the use of coercion in
interrogation. These organizations strictly prohibit their members from
participating in interrogations in which coercion is used. These
organizations claim that coercion is unethical. The resolution of the
APA (2008) on coercion in interrogation includes the following
statement:BE IT RESOLVED that the American Psychological Association
affirms that there are no exceptional circumstances whatsoever, whether
induced by a state of war or threat of war, internal political
instability or any other public emergency, that may be invoked as a
justification for torture or cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or
punishment, including the invocation of laws, regulations, or orders.
(para. 7)Publicly revealed Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) transcripts
and interviews with CIA employees detail that harsh methods were used
to develop information from suspected terrorists. Use the key words
"John Kiriakou interview with Brian Ross" on a search engine to read a
CIA officer's revelation on the methods used to develop information from
a suspected terrorist.A potential logical conclusion about the
treatment of detained combatants is that coercion works and, because it
works so well, it can be justified under some exceptional circumstances.
