Torture memo to the CIA

I wonder if they passed around check-lists or flow-charts so that the torturers could make D.I.Y. psychiatric diagnoses.

The Justice Department in 2002 told the CIA that its interrogators would be safe from prosecution for violations of anti-torture laws if they believed “in good faith” that harsh techniques used to break prisoners’ will would not cause “prolonged mental harm.”

Maybe they offered crash-courses on “How To Think You Are A Doctor 101″ too.
