SPECIAL BRIEFING ON DETAINEE MEDICAL OPERATIONS

http://www.defenselink.mil/transcripts/2005/tr20050707-3301.html

Q: One of the points New England Journal of Medicine brought up is the role
that the BSCT teams played, and I think that there is a sense, at least from
them, that there's something creepy about a physician or a doctor using their
medical knowledge that they gained in med school and then took a Hippocratic
oath to increase stress or to do anything other than heal.

Can you talk about that as a -- as a physician?

GEN. KILEY: I know that's an issue. My sense is that interrogations that are
safe, legal and ethical within the confines of our operations, that medical
advice and recommendations that are also safe, legal and ethical are probably
appropriate. I would suggest there are those who probably don't agree with
that.
