Useful source already in use on waterboarding, as it is about the APA and EIT/torture. http://www.vanityfair.com/politics/features/2007/07/torture200707?currentPage=3 and this http://physiciansforhumanrights.org/torture/debate-kiley-rubenstein.html physicians for human rights has loads on this.

Questionable article sanitization...
The lead paragraph currently states something questionable: "The Behavioral Science Consultation Teams (BSCTs, pronounced “biscuits”) are groups of psychologists and psychological technicians who advise the commanders of Enemy Prisoner of War and Unlawful Enemy Combatant detention facilities on how to conduct safe, legal, ethical and effective operations."
The public record confirms instances where the mental health professionals in BSCT committed flagrant lapses from their professional standards. Mohammed Jawad, a youth recruited, abused, and drugged by jihadists, when he may have been as young as 12 years old, was then tortured and abused at Guantanamo, with the direct and complicit assistance of a BSCT psychologist.
The public record shows that this BSCT psychologist was called in by Jawad's interrogator, and that the psychologist Lieutenant Colonel Diane M. Zierhoffer, recommended increasing the intensity of Jawad's torture CLOSING ARGUMENT AT GUANTANAMO II: THE TORTURE OF MOHAMMAD JAWAD, CONTINUED, Army Psychologist Pleads 'Fifth' in Case of Prisoner 900, Guantanamo Psychologist Led Rendition and Imprisonment of Afghan Boys, Complaint Charges, The Biscuit Breaker, Testimony of a Psychologist in the BSCT for Mohammed Jawad
The wikipedia is not a hagiography. Press officers routinely try to cover up the record of abuse at Guantanamo, but it is our responsiiblity here to be neutral, and not mindlessly repeat the questionable assertions of spin doctors. Geo Swan (talk) 17:20, 10 October 2016 (UTC)
