Proposed Pentagon Interrogation Training at Yale University Denounced as "A Perversion of Medicine"

Yale university looking to cash in on the fairytale "War on terror"

MICHAEL SIEGEL: "Yale has now crossed a line. There are nefarious purposes to which medicine can be used. I mean, for example, one could use medicine to design biological weapons. Clearly, everyone would agree that the Yale School of Medicine should not be involved in helping to achieve that military objective. But I think that using the practice of medicine and medical research to help design advanced interrogation techniques, or even just regular civilian intelligence-gathering techniques, interviewing techniques, is not an appropriate use of medicine. The practice of medicine was designed to improve people's health. And the school of medicine should not be taking part in either training or research that is primarily designed to enhance military objectives. That's not an appropriate use of medicine. And the bottom line is, I think it's a perversion of medicine, and that's the greatest harm that I fear that is coming from this."
