Twenty religious organizations are calling for Congress and President Obama to ensure a fair and thorough investigation into allegations of forced human experimentation by the CIA on detainees after 9/11.
In June, the group Physicians for Human Rights (PHR) released “Experiments in Torture” which detailed health professionals’ involvement in CIA interrogation programs.
The report alleged that the CIA used forced human experimentation for several purposes, including calibrating “the level of pain experienced … ostensibly to keep it from crossing the administration’s legal threshold of what it claimed constituted torture.”
