The Phrase is "Good Germans"

The term which should be applied to doctors and other medical personnel who aided in torture at Guantanamo and the CIA gulag system.

Note that while the Red Cross did say that medical assistance rendered in furtherance of torturer was unethical even if it was the preserve the life or health of the subject, that the activities of medical personnel did not even fall under this limited scope, but rather that they were, "medical professionals’ role was primarily to support the interrogators, not to protect the prisoners, and that the professionals had 'condoned and participated in ill treatment.'"

This is wrong, and the people involved should never be allowed to participate in patient care ever again.
