U.S. Army doctors violated the Geneva Conventions by helping
intelligence officers carry out abusive interrogations at military
detention centers, perhaps participating in torture, according to
an article in today's edition of the New England Journal of
Medicine.
Medical personnel helped tailor interrogations to the physical and
mental conditions of individual detainees at Abu Ghraib prison in
Iraq and the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba,
according to the article. It says that medical workers gave
interrogators access to patient medical files, and that
psychiatrists and other physicians collaborated with interrogators
and guards who, in turn, deprived detainees of sleep, restricted
them to diets of bread and water and exposed them to extreme heat
and cold.
