I have not read the whole thing, but here are a few interesting quotes from the beginning of the paper:
[…] military and intelligence-agency physicians and psychologists, acting under directives and protocols developed by authorities, aided in the design, implementation, and monitoring of torture.
If you had any doubt…
Far from ending the use of waterboarding, however, OMs personnel came to oversee it, along with many other enhanced interrogation methods.
OMS = CIA’s Office of Medical “Services”.
For waterboarding, the OMS guidelines required a medical assessment before more than 15 applications of the method within a single 24-hour period.
The first 15 times were expected to be fine.
by the end of 2003, the OMS had assumed a major role not just in clinical oversight but also as a policy adviser to the CIA and the Justice Department on the medical consequences of the use of enhanced techniques. The OMS reviewed each of the methods used, identified potential consequences and risks, and gave opinions on limitations that should be imposed on their use.
Etc.
Hard to read without getting nauseated.
