U.S. military initiates $125 million experimental 'holistic healing' program for traumatized soldiers
An experimental, Army mental-health, fitness initiative designed by the same psychologist whose work heavily influenced the psychological aspects of the Bush administration's torture program is under fire by civil rights groups and hundreds of active-duty soldiers.
