Carmen Cusido, McClatchy Newspapers: "A report released Monday by The Advan=

-monstrosities
Roy Eidelson, Truthout: "Sadly, there is no shortage of arenas where the ta=
le of Frankenstein - of science unmoored from values, of ambition unrestrai=

y psychologists is the American Psychological Association's (APA) ongoing, =
decade-long embrace of 'war on terror' opportunities that have placed US ps=
ychologists at the center of coercive interrogations and other human rights=
abuses."

Just as McCarthyism Claimed to Fight Godless Communists, Boykinism Condones=
War on Idolatrous Muslims
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/11753-boykinism-joe-mccarthy-would-unders=
tand
Andrew Bacevich, TomDispatch: "This debate over who actually represents God=
's will is one that the successive administrations of George W. Bush and Ba=

with Islam per se, US officials insist. Still, among Muslims abroad, Wash=
ington's repeated denials notwithstanding, suspicion persists, and not with=
out reason."
