Well, the following excerpt of testimony by then CIA Director Stansfield Turner is from a 1977 Senate hearing.

...[snip]Senator INOUYE. Thank you very much.

Admiral Turner, MKULTRA subproject 3 was a project involving the surreptitious administration of LSD on unwitting persons, was it not?

Admiral TURNER. Yes, sir.

Senator INOUYE. In February 1954, and this was in the very early stages of MKULTRA, the Director of Central Intelligence wrote to the technical services staff officials criticizing their judgment because they had participated in an experiment involving the administration of LSD on an unwitting basis to Dr. Frank Olson, who later committed suicide. Now, the individuals criticized were the same individuals who were responsible for subproject 3, involving exactly the same practices. Even though these individuals were clearly aware of the dangers of surreptitious administration and had been criticized by the Director of Central Intelligence, subproject 3 was not terminated immediately after Dr. Olson's death. In fact, according to documents, it continued for a number of years. Can you provide this committee with any explanation of how such testing could have continued under these circumstances?

Admiral TURNER. No, sir, I really can't....[snip]

1977 : (THE CARTER ADMIN, STANSFIELD TURNER & THE "HALLOWEEN MASSACRE" / GUTTING OF THE CIA -- see CHURCH COMMISSION, AFGHANISTAN )
* Stansfield Turner :
The decimation of human intelligence really began under Jimmy Carter and his CIA Director Stansfield Turner. Turner really believed in satelites and gadgetry and thought that agents in the field only caused trouble. He reduced by more than half the operations element and human intelligence suffered greatly. (E.g., there was no agent on the ground in Afghanistan when Russia invaded in December 1979.) First under Reagan and then under Bush the CIA began the slow process of rebuilding its operations. Then Clinton arrived and the rest is history. With any luck Bush II will have rebuilt operations by 2009. 18 posted on 12/20/2003 6:36:15 AM PST by gaspar
