了？连最后那21个到中国的战俘后来回美国都没打成是叛国罪，你说什么就是什么？

They show how far the White House went to conceal information about Olson's death — and his role in preparing anthrax and other biological weapons. .

Cheney and Rumsfeld were given the task of covering up the details of Frank Olson's death. At the time, Rumsfeld was White House Chief of Staff to President Gerald Ford. Dick Cheney was a senior White House assistant.

The documents uncovered by Professor Olmstead include one that states "Dr Olson's job was so sensitive that it is highly unlikely that we would submit relevant evidence".

In another memo, Cheney acknowledges that "the Olson lawyers will seek to explore all the circumstances of Dr Olson's employment, as well as those concerning his death. In any trial, it may become apparent that we are concealing evidence for national security reasons and any settlement or judgement reached thereafter could be perceived as money paid to cover up the activities of the CIA".

Frank Olson's family received US$750,000 to settle their claims against the US government.

What caught the Central Intelligence Agency's eye was his comparison of 'psychic driving' to techniques of coerced interrogation and brainwashing. Using one its front organizations, the agency solicited a grant application from Dr. Cameron and funded his work. With the CIA funds, Dr. Cameron continued his experiments. Using patients who came to him for psychiatric treatment, but without disclosing that he was experimenting, he tried to break through patients' resistance to the taped messages.

To this end, he induced severe regression in the patients, using combinations of extremely intensive electric shock, barbiturate-induced sleep for up to 60 days at a stretch, sensory deprivation and hallucinogenic drugs. These techniques left patients dazed, confused, incontinent and often in a state of utter panic. The CIA funding was secret.

Olson plunged from a room at the Hotel Statler on Nov. 28, 1953, nine days after the CIA gave him LSD without his knowledge. The experiment was part of a CIA program known as MK-ULTRA to study the effects of LSA and other drugs for intelligence and military purposes.

After learning he was given the mind-bending drug, Olson sank into a paranoid depression. He told his Army superiors he wanted to quit his job as one of the nation's top germ-warfare scientists, and his family now says they believe he was slain because he had become a security risk.

Among other things, hypnosis, anaesthetics and LSD were to be used on the former POWs. In this way, Artichoke hoped to gain insight into the enemy’s interrogation methods and to make sure that the returned soldiers did not work for the other side.

handled in one of two ways. One method would be to design the cluster

adapter in such a manner that it would serve as its own shipping container.

This would entail chiefly hermetically sealing of the cluster adapter and

providing shipping guards for protection and ease of handling. Although

feasible, this approach would require such additional strength in the

adapter as to make the weight prohibitive. Beside the weight consideration,

the loss in payload, estimated to be approximately 70 E54R6 bombs, would

also be serious enough to reduce the warhead effectiveness considerably.

Based on the experience gained in the design of smaller-size clusters (750

and 1,000 lb.) incorporating hermetic sealing, development of a positive

seal for a 3,000-lb. limit is felt to be virtually impossible, considering

the rough handling to which the cluster will be subjected and also the

in-flight vibrations transmitted to the cluster by the missile.

The practical approach is to provide a shipping container

which has incorporated in its design the characteristics necessary to

insure safe storage and delivery of the munition.
