• Replies to comments by D. J. Armor and J. D. Mayer (see record 2019-34216-010) on the article by K. S. Pope (see record 2018-62354-001) on major ethical and human rights issues facing the APA over its past involvement in US policies promoting prisoner torture. Whether US support for torture has stayed stable since 2009 or has expanded since that time and continues to spread, the surveys from 2009 forward show alarmingly high support for torture, higher in the US than in all but few other countries. This exceptionally strong US support for torture, a violation of human rights, provides context for and underscores the urgency of addressing the continuing human rights and ethics crisis facing the American Psychological Association.
