Study: Gitmo Doctors Ignored Signs of Torture http://news.antiwar.com/2011/04/26/study-gitmo-doctors-ignored-signs-of-torture/

A newly released study details a number of cases in which government doctors at Guantanamo Bay ignored strong evidence of torture and other signs of detainee abuse. The study cited nine cases in particular where the “enhanced interrogation” was in line with torture, all of which doctors explained away as “personality disorders.”That was every day life in Guantanamo Bay, it seems, where doctors shrugged off broken bones, didn’t ask about lacerations and nerve damage, or other signs of savage beatings.

Even hallucinations were “routine” and the doctors just assumed they were “temporary.”The report concluded that the evidence documented by the doctors was largely consistent with the detainee’s claims of torture, beyond that fact that the doctors dismissed the conclusions. The report has spawned new criticism of the detention center and the mistreatment of detainees therein.Pentagon officials have yet to comment on the report.
