    An anthropologist served as a psychological operations officer in Iraq which caused controversy within his academic field. Some believe he used anthropological skills to manipulate Iraqis, violating ethics of the profession. The American Anthropological Association is debating whether to ban members from working with military, though others argue this would politicize the organization and censor unpopular views. The association aims to balance academic freedom with its commitment to do no harm.
