Report comment
Of course, I didn’t notice the link below NYT. In any case a really good interview, which shows just how deep in the torture program the APA was. If they had any shame they would line up for prison.

“…two of the association’s presidents…who taught at Harvard and Boston Universities – were ‘intimately involved’ in coordinating the association’s policies to line up with Pentagon preferences….”

Big Government + Big Pharma + Big Psychiatry = Big Problems

Of course it should go without being said, but all those involved need to be held fully accountable for these atrocities.
