When author Miles, an expert in medical ethics and an advocate for human rights, learned of it, one of his first thoughts was: "Where were the prison doctors while the abuses were taking place?" Here, he explains the answer: not only were doctors, nurses, and medics silent while prisoners were abused; physicians and psychologists provided information that helped determine how much and what kind of mistreatment could be delivered to detainees during interrogation. Additionally, these harsh examinations were monitored by health professionals operating under the purview of the U.S. military. Based on meticulous research and documentations, he tells a story markedly different from the official version, revealing involvement at every level of government. This book will reinvigorate Americans' understanding of why human rights matter.--From publisher description. 650 0 $a Prisoners of war $x Moral and ethical aspects. $x Moral and ethical aspects. 650 0 $a Medical personnel $x Professional ethics $z United States. 650 0 $a Medicine, Military $x Moral and ethical aspects. 650 0 $a Torture $x Moral and ethical aspects. 650 0 $a Prisoners of war $x Abuse of $z Iraq. 650 0 $a Prisoners of war $x Abuse of $z Afghanistan. 650 0 $a Prisoners of war $x Abuse of $z Cuba. 650 0 $a War on Terrorism, 2001-2009 $x Moral and ethical aspects. 610 20 $a Abu Ghraib Prison. 610 20 $a GuantaÌnamo Bay Detention Camp. 650 0 $a Medical ethics $z United States. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Miles, Steven H. $t Oath betrayed. $b 1st ed. $d New York : Random House, c2006 $w (OCoLC)607667816 776 08 $i Online version: $a Miles, Steven H. $t Oath betrayed. $b 1st ed. $d New York : Random House, c2006 $w (OCoLC)609219686 856 42 $3 Contributor biographical information $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0634/2006044863-b.html 856 42 $3 Publisher description $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0634/2006044863-d.html 856 41 $3 Sample text $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0661/2006044863-s.html 941 $a 5 952 $l PQAX094 $d 20231214045417.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180111042245.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160823065658.0 952 $l UUAX975 $d 20100528011552.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20090701080000.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=ACFDAB4C2B0C11DE82774608A8D7520A 994 $a 02 $b IOBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
