Dr. McHale is a board-certified psychiatrist who is a lieutenant in the Army. He has recently been assigned to Afghanistan. In his role there he is asked to sit for interrogations of enemy combatants. A military policy states that a "behavioral science consultant" may not be a "medical monitor during interrogation" and suggests that this is a "health care function:' However, it appears to authorize monitoring as part of consultants' intelligence functions, since "physicians may protect interrogatees if, by monitoring, they prevent coercive interrogations".During an interrogation, Dr. McHale begins to become concerned about the mental health of prisoner who appears to be close to giving information that would clearly be useful. Is Dr. McHale able to act as a physician in this role? Should health care providers be used in areas of military intelligence?
