thank sw, thought you disappeared...<br>I am sill wondering where Ross is coming from. I re-read his book, and now he published a new edition of "bluebird" which he calls CIA doctors..etc. (not many changes). He keeps repeating how the CIA is terrific and keeps him safe from goulags ???, and its the doctors who are to blame. well..<br>I also wonder what was the critique about him in the press, he mentiones that several times, but the reference are not in the internet, so I don't know what is written there (except that the platforms are respectable). <br>--<br>So, while he is 'solid' (has the right credientials etc.) and thorough, I am still not sure why he keeps defending, sweepingly, the CIA in connection with the abuses. Why, if there were no doctors, wouldn't the CIA find other professionals to torture and control and abuse and drug people against the law ? not that I think the doctors are innicent, but it makes we wonder if he is not part of the CIA himself, knowingly or not, trying to put more pressure on the doctors so that they shut up forever and ever (or they'll be handed to the altar.).<br>I liked the connections he made between MKultra and paperclip, but again, isn't it so convenient to<br>1. lay it on 20 Nazis doctors who are mostly dead by now.<br>2. lay it all on doctors who were just hired guns (while I don't in the least excuse their ethical betrayals, but you know, money and "national security" mantras will do it to almost anyone. ).<br>Just a thought.. <p></p><i></i>
