On its front page, the New York Times (7/31, A1, Risen, Subscription Publication) reports that the American Psychological Association’s board “plans to recommend tough ethics rules that would prohibit psychologists from involvement in all national security interrogations.” The board is expected to “recommend” that the association’s members approve the change at next week’s annual meeting. Association officials “said they believed the proposed ban would be so strict that any psychologist involved” in the interrogations “could be subject to an ethics complaint.”
