World-News: 29 Januar 2012

Roy Eidelson, Truthout: ''In 2005, despite evidence that psychologists were involved in abusive and torturous interrogations of national security detainees, [the] American Psychological Association (APA) ... concluded that psychologists play a critical role in keeping such interrogations 'safe, legal, ethical and effective'....With this stance, the APA, the largest association of psychologists worldwide, became the sole major professional health care organization to support practices contrary to the international human rights standards that ought to be the benchmark against which professional codes of ethics are judged.''

Psychologists and Torture, Then and Now

Laura Melendez-Pallitto and Robert Pallitto, Foreign Policy in Focus: ''History repeats itself, first as tragedy and then as farce. The ?tragedy? occurred half a century ago when CIA-funded psychological research on electroshock treatment, sensory deprivation and the like found its way into the Agency?s counterintelligence interrogation manual. The ?farce? was played post-9/11, as psychologists became involved once again in aiding counterintelligence interrogators?. Psychologists were complicit in designing and using techniques to break subjects rather than aid them, and in so doing they made a mockery of their ethical obligation to ?do no harm.?"

Avoiding a Catastrophic War with Iran

Nathaniel Batchelder, Common Dreams: ''Pray cooler heads will guide America in the dialogue and decision-making over Irans' position in the world. Iran does not have nuclear weapons, and there is no certain evidence that such a program is under way. Certainly Iran has the right to the peaceful use of nuclear energy, and the interests of world peace demand that these issues be resolved without military action that could launch a catastrophic war.''

Bundestag genehmigt den Einsatz von Drohnen

Nicht nur das Parlament schweigt weitgehend, auch die Medien und die Öffentlichkeit scheinen kein Problem mit einem womöglich massiven Eingriff in die Privatsphäre und der Demonstrationsfreiheit zu haben.

http://www.heise.de/tp/artikel/36/36309/1.html

''Die Gefahr kommt aus der Luft, von einem hochtechnisierten, unbemannten Gerät. Die Bundeswehr hat bereits mehr als 330 Drohnen verschiedener Größen in Dienst gestellt. Etwa 70 werden im Afghanistan-Krieg eingesetzt. Das geht aus einem Bericht der Bundesregierung von letzter Woche hervor. Das Papier beantwortet eine Anfrage der Bundestagsabgeordneten Andrej Hunko und Ulla Jelpke (beide Die Linke). Die hatten sich nach der Nutzung unbemannter Luftfahrzeuge bei Militär und Polizei erkundigt?.'' Artikel von Matthias Monroy aus junge Welt vom 23. Februar 2012 beim Friedensratschlag
