I felt strongly enough about the problems at the CAA that I put together a commentary on it. It is currently featured on Khaly Castle's blog.

The commentary also includes an in-depth academic critique of the Lancet study on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Graded Exercise Therapy, which may be helpful to people who need to offer a rebuttal to its conclusions to doctors, employers or others.

So that it would be more easily usable for the latter purpose, I put a plain text version of it here:
