This is really about "changing the dialogue." Before, the clinical psychologists mainly mumbled when the question of 'torture' came up. Now, it's a regular thing to discuss.

Thus today's Boston Globe.

If psychologist involvement in torture of detainees and "black site" prisoners is now an "ethical issue," then the 'torture' issues that we experience are nearer "to the surface." Clinical psychologists who now can't mumble when the 'torture' takes place in interrogation will have to learn to talk when our issues of behavioral management come up. Or anyway the denial system is getting harder for them to implement.
