CIA certainly uses a variety of psychoactive drugs, some of which we probably do not even know about. I think that much is a given, considering how many compounds even creative hobbyists (like Dr. Shulgin) have come up with, and what those kinds of compounds are able to accomplish when combined with torture, sensory deprivation, or some unknown methods like direct electrical etc. stimulation of the brain, or even embedded electrodes to certain brain areas. This is nothing new to them, and I fear there is much we don't know about their techniques. Knowing a bit about a few psychoactives, I shudder to think about it.

The Department of Homeland Security is funding the creation an LED flashlight that uses powerful flashes of light to temporarily blind, disorient and incapacitate people. Homeland Security’s Science and Technology arm hopes government agents can use the “light saber” to arrest people on planes and at the borders without using traditional weapons.
The LED Incapacitator uses a range-finder to measure the distance to a target’s eyes and then unleashes continually changing, multi-color light pulses that both blind and disorient the person. Intelligent Optical Systems, a small company in Torrance, CA, is developing the weapon with money from Homeland Security’s Science and Technology division, which thinks its possible to have the weapon deployed to cops, National Guard troops and border agents by 2010.

The tool could be scaled up to make a light bazooka that could subdue a crowd, but the company is focusing on miniaturizing the device to make it resemble a traditional D-cell Maglite. Right now the prototype is a non-svelte 15 inches by 4 inches wide.
But first the company’s chief scientist Vladimir Rubtsov wants to discover more powerful patterns and colors, which he’ll get this fall with tests on volunteers at Penn State University’s Institute for Nonlethal Defense Technology.
”There’s one wavelength that gets everybody,” Lieberman said, according to the newsletter. “Vlad calls it the evil color.”

Evidence For The Existence Of A Hypnotic State Found
Researchers have found evidence for the existence of a hypnotic state -- the key was in the glazed staring eyes
The Hypnotically Induced Stare (HIS)
Credit: University of Turku and Aalto University/PLoS
A multidisciplinary group of researchers from Finland (University of Turku and Aalto University) and Sweden (University of Skövde) has found that strange stare may be a key that can eventually lead to a solution to this long debate about the existence of a hypnotic state.
One of the most widely known features of a hypnotized person in the popular culture is a glazed, wide-open look in the eyes. Paradoxically, this sign has not been considered to have any major importance among researchers and has never been studied in any detail, probably due to the fact that it can be seen in only some hypnotized people.
This study was done with a very highly hypnotizable participant who can be hypnotized and dehypnotized by just using a one-word cue. The change between hypnotic state and normal state can thus be varied in seconds.
