Is It Safe?
This article from the NYTimes, unfortunately, brings to mind the gut-churning scene from Marathon Man where Laurence Olivier's Nazi doctor character (Dr. Christian 'The White Angel' Szell) uses his dentistry "skill"s on Dustin Hoffman to extract information, asking him over and over again "Is it safe? Is it safe? Is it safe?" no matter the answer that Hoffman supplies:

Military doctors at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, have aided interrogators in conducting and refining coercive interrogations of detainees, including providing advice on how to increase stress levels and exploit fears, according to new, detailed accounts given by former interrogators. The accounts, in interviews with The New York Times, come as mental health professionals are debating whether psychiatrists and psychologists at the prison camp have violated professional ethics codes. The Pentagon and mental health professionals have been examining the ethical issues involved. The former interrogators said the military doctors' role was to advise them and their fellow interrogators on ways of increasing psychological duress on detainees, sometimes by exploiting their fears, in the hopes of making them more cooperative and willing to provide information. In one example, interrogators were told that a detainee's medical files showed he had a severe phobia of the dark and suggested ways in which that could be manipulated to induce him to cooperate.
