CIA to release newly found mind-control files
A US Congress task force says the agency is declassifying just-discovered documents from MKUltra, the Cold War program that drugged unwitting Americans.
- Rep. Anna Paulina Luna: the new files pertain to a forgery program housed under MKUltra.
- They surfaced among 40 boxes of JFK and MKUltra records; after a standoff, the CIA agreed to release them.
- Most MKUltra evidence was burned in 1973 on the CIA director's own order. What's known today survived through seven misfiled boxes found in 1977.
Why it matters: MKUltra is the reason "the government experimented on its own citizens" is history, not theory. Any file that escaped the 1973 bonfire rewrites part of that record.
