Code Name: Artichoke, page 1

I just watched a very interesting documentary on this top secret CIA operation, which involved biological warfare and brainwashing techniques in the 50's. Dr. Frank Olson (who was involved in these experiments) is believed to have been murdered by the CIA because he had top level clearance in these experiments. Many believe he was killed because he grew disturbed by how inhumane this operation had become. He wanted to quit the CIA. Mentioned was the distinct possiblity that the US used biological agents in Korea. The most disturbing thing I learned from this special was that Rumsfeld and Cheney were in power at the time, and were most likely involved in the assassination and cover up. What the hell are these men doing in office again? I recommend watching this special. It looks like it's on again tomorrow, if you have this channel.

Are these the type of men we want in power?

A California history professor, Kathryn Olmstead, has discovered documents at the Gerald Ford library which were written by Cheney and Rumsfeld.

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.
