Abstract: An analysis of the May 2004 Inspector General's report, building on the 2007 report by Physicians for Human Rights and Human Rights First (HRF), Leave No Marks, which assessed interrogation techniques reported up to that time, which have now been confirmed by the Inspector General's report. This paper provides an introductory summary of interrogation techniques newly described in the Inspector General's report and then offers a more detailed medical analysis of those techniques. The paper then reviews the various ways health professionals were complicit in enabling the torture regime.
