"Break Them Down: The Systematic Use of Psychological Torture by US
Forces":

One year after the release of scandalous photographs of US
personnel torturing Iraqi detainees at the US-run Abu Ghraib prison
in Iraq, a new report provides extensive evidence that
psychological torture was systematic and central to the
interrogation process of detainees in Iraq, Afghanistan and
Guantánamo.
The 135-page report, Break Them Down: Systematic Use of
Psychological Torture by US Forces, by Physicians for Human Rights
(PHR), is the first comprehensive review of the use of
psychological torture by US forces. The report also examines the
devastating health consequences of psychological coercion and
explains how a regime of psychological torture was put into place
in the US "war on terror."
