It was apparently part of the Bush administration's lame attempts to justify the unjustifiable. According to the report, as part of the administration's attempts to redefine the "limits" of what constitutes torture, doctors and other medical personnel were "ostensibly responsible for ensuring that the legal threshold for 'severe physical and mental pain' was not crossed by interrogators."
But how do you measure another person's pain and suffering?

Joseph Mengele would have been proud of the Bush Administration. It is a real shame that the program continues under the Obama Administration as well.

I started reading the pdf document and stopped. I just don't understand how a doctor of all people could participate. Certainly would not want to be treated by one of them. It just reminded me of an old movie from 1961 that I watched this weekend called: Judgment at Nuremberg.

Wait ! Wait ! Wait ! I am quite sure that if there were really anything close to "war crimes" commeted, the Obama administration would be on it like they are on the"other" crimes which have recently been done by other nations. After all that is just why the International Courts of Criminal Justice were established.
