Did “Enhanced Interrogation” Break the CIA’s Own Rules on “Human Experimentation”?

The Central Intelligence Agency’s use of so-called “enhanced interrogation techniques” on detainees in the aftermath of 9/11 may have violated its own guidelines around medical ethics and “human experimentation,” according to a new report in theGuardian.

Previously classified documents obtained by the American Civil Liberties Union and published by the Guardian on Monday say the agency “shall not sponsor, contract for, or conduct research on human subjects,” except in accordance with guidelines issued by the Department of Health and Human Services.
