The Strange, Post-Gitmo Career of Col. Larry James
Fixing Hell and Curing Obesity


Colonel (Retired) Larry James, Chief Psychologist at Guatanamo Bay in 2003 and 2007, as well as Abu Ghraib in 2004, has a new vocation: Dean of the School of Professional Psychology at Wright State University, Dayton, Ohio. Seems that James perhaps realized that some academicians might find it difficult to understand how his experiences at these illegal detention facilities qualified him for an academic deanship: he did not include his time at Guantanamo or Abu Ghraib on the CV he presented to Wright State.

-long snip detailing his traitorous ways-

There is one final tale of tragic irony. Colonel Larry James has been chosen by the American Psychological Association to receive the Booz Black Award to honor outstanding research and practice in Counseling Health Psychology at their annual convention next week, the same convention that was the stage in 2007 for Colonel James, straight from Guantanamo, to urge his fellow psychologists to continue to professionally support those locations where men, women and children are held illegally for years, kept in solitary confinement, lives ruined, tortured and killed. Perhaps APA is confused, thinking it's giving James the Black Boots Award rather than the Booz Black.
