This isn't really anything new.
The CIA has hired psychologists before for atrocities.

Yes. But, the psychologists agreed to do the "work." This shows another example of a complete lack of morals and social ethics among the psychology-cartel class. As if the CIA needed such people in its ranks.

Exactly, many psychologists in America's history have agreed to the "work" in the past.
Dr. Ewen Cameron agreed to work for them and "depatterned" patients.
"The frequent screams of the patients that echoed through the hospital did not deter Cameron or most of his associates in their attempts to depattern their subjects completely."
- John D. Marks
Dr. Ewen Cameron would become the president of the American, Canadian, and the World Psychology Associations after he finished his work.

From 1964 to 1968, the U.S. Army paid $386,486 to professors Albert Kligman and Herbert W. Copelan to perform experiments on optimizing torture.

And there are many others.
