See User:Geo Swan/Stale drafts#Scaffolding
During the cold war the Central Intelligence Agency funded a series of CIA medical experiments, including Project MKULTRA, a project to use psychoactive drugs and other techniques for mind control.
More recently the CIA has come under criticism by critics who assert that medical personnel in the employ of the CIA used illegal medical experiments on individuals apprehended in the "war on terror".[1][2] Physicians for Human Rights published a report on the conduct of medical personnel in the CIA employ, entitled Aiding Torture. The report asserted that CIA medical personnel who monitored the effectiveness of the use of extended interrogation methods" had participated in "a practice that approaches unlawful experimentation".
