John Kiriakou

There was an operation.

It was a sub-operation of MKUltra where they rented a safe house in San Francisco.

They recruited a bunch of hookers.

And had them go out and pick up Johns, bring them back to the safe house where they thought they were going to get laid, dose them with LSD, and then interrogate them and try to get them to give up their deepest secrets.

Yeah, Midnight Climax, exactly.

Nobody's agreed to do this.

You haven't informed them properly.

These are American citizens.

You can't just take people off the streets and force LSD down their throats.

Exactly.

Manson was a part of it as well.

And just think of what's been destroyed.

Right.

What we could have learned.

I think that is that's the whole story right there in a nutshell.

When I was there, I remember being shocked by some of the old timers who had been there for as long as 40 or 42 years.

There was one in particular.

He was the national intelligence officer for warning.

So he was the one that was supposed to say, you know, I'm worried about what Libya is going to look like 10 years from now.

And then somebody writes a paper about it.
