I'm not a fan of Chalquist's but there is no denial of the facts re: APA in the hyperlink above.

I certainly trust the work of Alfred W. McCoy as cited upthread.

Science In Dachau's Shadow: Hebb, Beecher And The Development Of CIA Psychological Torture And Modern Medical Ethics (Alfred W. McCoy Fall 2007 Journal of the History of the Behavioral Sciences pdf)
https://www.uio.no/studier/emner/jus/ikrs/KRIM2950/h11/undervisningsmateriale/McCoy.pdf

I care about how far too many people's stories that were based on their personal experiences were discredited by "professionals"-I care about the truth about how torture and non-consensual experimentation have continued with the sanction of professional organizations.

One more point, just like torture performed by APA members through the decades, MK OFTEN never stopped. I would think that proud Pagans and others here at DU would criticize these programs hidden in the history of "national security" in addition to those of us from mainstream Judeo-Christian culture.
