> When the family took legal action, government lawyers threatened witnesses with prosecution under the Espionage Act. Decades later, CIA Director Stansfield Turner admitted that “some unwitting testing took place,” but testified to Congress that the subjects were “criminal sexual psychopaths confined at a State hospital.” Of course, since they found their "moral compass", and now they don't do that stuff any longer. /s Purely hypothetically, assuming that they wanted to run some of these shady things and fearing some whistleblower might expose it, or Congress might start asking too many questions, what should they do? They would create stupid program like "study behavior of cats", and then assign it to a "friendly" foreign country and run it like that. On paper it looks like a silly waste of money. Oh well, when hasn't that happened... If they get caught, cancel the program, create another one like "study behavior of dogs" and assign the work again to the same "friendly" team. Any real "work" results and assignments are received in person only and kept compartmentalized.
