Abstract
In this article, I describe my trip to the U.S. Joint Task Force Station at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, on October 19, 2005. I participated as the 2005 President of the American Psychological Association and was part of a group of leaders from several national health and mental health organizations and United States and Department of Defense Officials. My purpose in participating was to inform the participants and other individuals of the American Psychological Association's (APA) position against torture and cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment. The trip afforded a unique opportunity to speak with people directly about APA's work in this area and to clarify questions about APA's position. The trip had no “fact-finding” component.
