Today's Times features a letter from 120 British doctors castigating the British government over the treatment of the detainees held at Guantanamo Bay and their lack of action over the treatment of British citizens. The letter states in part:
"given that the US military has awarded medals for doctors involved in the care of Guantanamo detainees (for medical treatment that would warrant a criminal investigation if carried out in Britain), we have no confidence in the proposed investigation of the recent suicides"
and ultimately the signatories accuse the UK government of "complicity in a war crime".

With US Army medical personnel implicated in the mistreatment of prisoners held at Guantanamo what has the reaction of the American medical community been? I did find this on the AMA website.

(UPDATE: not all of the signatories are British. There are a couple of Americans as well.)
