Please do update us if you get a response. (I, too, found this via Counterpunch.)

I commented on my blog awhile ago on psychologists assisting torturers in Guantanamo upon reading Jane Mayer's articles in the NYorker. At that time we did not know that the APA was actually supporting such a participation and was going to officialize it later. But at the time I complained of the silence in the scientific community of mind and brain researchers. Well it seems that the silence was hiding indifference and approval in some ways of the government,s ways with torture. That's a shame. I am glad that some are voiving their concerns against this madness. Great blog.

I am a PhD student at Saybrook Graduate School and Research Center and a long time activist and the more I become familiar with the inner workings of the APA the more I have become ashamed of my calling and the terribly lame response to our de facto official support of torture. Your work restores a modicum of faith in that calling and I support you wholeheartedly. Best, Jose Stephen,

Will interesting to see if 1) Brehm circulates the letter as she did M/S's letter and 2) if you receive a response. Excellent letter.
