Cold War Drug Test Subjects

Army Ordered to Keep Cold War Drug-Test Subjects Up to Date
By M. Alex Johnson
A federal judge has ordered the Army to track down soldiers who were subjected to secret medical experiments during the Cold War and warn them of any newly discovered health hazards they could face.
In a ruling (PDF) entered Thursday in U.S. District Court in Oakland, Calif., Judge Claudia Wilken lifted a stay she had briefly imposed on her earlier ruling that the Army must keep soldiers who took part in the tests up to date. The government wanted the ruling to remain shelved while it pursued appeals.
The experiments, many of them conducted as part of a program called Operation Paperclip, tested hundreds of chemical and biological agents ??? including LSD, the nerve gas sarin, mustard gas and amphetamines ??? on soldiers beginning in the early 1950s.
President Richard Nixon ended the program in 1969, and all chemical testing on humans is believed to have ended in 1976.
The issue isn't that the approximately 7,800 soldiers didn't know that they were being used in the experiments ??? all of them signed consent agreements, lawyers representing them in the class-action suit acknowledge. Instead, they argue, the Army abandoned the soldiers once the terms of their consent expired, generally after five years.
But Wilken ruled in November (PDF) that the Army has an obligation to continue tracking the test subjects and to alert them to new information developed after 2006 about the effects of the agents they were given. The order she filed Thursday directs the Army to comply even though it's still appealing her decision.
Government lawyers had argued that the cost of implementing the order ??? which they estimated at $ 1.8 million a year ??? would constitute an "irreparable harm."
But Wilken wrote that that was an insignificant burden compared to the "irreversible health consequences" suffered by the soldiers.
The government also argued that courts have no jurisdiction to assess the medical judgments of military scientists and that there is no constitutional right to notice or health care. Wilken sided with the government on some claims, removing the CIA and Attorney General Eric Holder from the suit.

Today, unfortunately (and my own thoughts) the FDA is doing exactly the SAME thing with pharmaceuticals. Obviously the disclaimer that lasts over a minute on the side affects is what lets them get away with it.
IMO, they should find these men and follow up.
You sure about Operation Paperclip..?
It was designed to steal German scientists.. perhaps what you wanted tell us was Project MKUltra .
Why didn??t you mentioned all nuclear and radiation tests on American citizens? (no wonder you all are crazy son of a bitches).

True.
But who better to conduct said human experiments.
I'm not certain, but I believe "Paperclip" preceded the "ultra" operations, based on the god-awful knowledge of the nazis.

Settlements are cheaper than actually pulling dangerous drugs from shelves.
It is all about the bottom line.

And yes-- accountability should be mandatory, I agree.
Cowmuncher...!
You as the other ignorant in this post using internet to find an excuse to force your BS to glorifying the horrible behavior of your backward nations to the younger minds.
Like I said.. I provided only two links out of millions out there to explain to the previous retard some truth about the atrocities caused by your backward, cultureless nation.
Investigate and research since I have no time to waste on people like you..!

and really..!!

haven't you forget about this to..?

Excuse me..? why killing in the first place..?
Qbone if your so smart and have such vast knowledge, why do you waste your time here debating it on a small astrology site ^.^?
What is your motive? We're ignorant right? So why converse with us at all? Surely and intelligent person wouldn't waste their precious valuable time.

Don't even get me started on GMO crops either.
We really need to get our Feral Federal Govt, and it's gargantuan bureaucracy including the FDA, EPA, etc back under control somehow.
But at least we bathe regularly and don't stone rape victims, so we're still ahead of Qboner. smile

Did you forget about all that?



Laugh my ass off??_??
Yeah.. (Relations between Nazi Germany and the Arab world), the same ARABS (supposedly causing 9/11) and now in bed with the Americans signing up $ billions in arms trade..
History repeating itself right? First Nazi, not Arabs (Wahhabi and takfiri), Al-Quadea in Syria/libya, Mujahedin in Afghanistan (later renamed as Taliban) andso on.. (business excuses as usual)??_.. Who do you kidding..?

Again ignorant cowmuncher..
Female??s genital mutilation is cultural (practicing in Africa)it has nothing to do with the religion and it not practicing in Iran (assuming retards like you at least has access to the basic google map to find the differences between the Iran and the Africa).

See Qboner is very good at giving you part of the facts, leaving out the part that absolutely destroys his point.
So Qboner, how many Jews IS that in Iran, since you state in bold print: "after Israhell Iran hosting a biggest Jewish community in the Middle East."??????
Here is a link with a breakdown of the numbers and percentage of the total Jewish population of the world. Note that Israel is first, the US of A is second. Go down to the Asia chart and note the number in Iran, as well as the percentage of total world jews they comprise.
http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Judaism/jewpop.html

Irael: 5,901,100 42.9% of total world population
USA: 5,425,000 39.5% of total world population
Iran: 10,200 0.01% of total world population
Now notice how Qboner presented that data. Did you think that the numbers would be that far apart? Doing some quick math (because Qboner isn't worth the effort to give an exact crunch of the numbers because he's just fucking ludicrous)... Israle has about 590 jews for every 1 living in Iran. The USA has about 542 for every 1 living in Iran.
Yet Qboner would present that one bolded statement as some sort of moral equivalence.

In fact, Jews in Iran stay in Iran because they pretty much aren't allowed to leave.
The JVL (also your source) has a good snippet on that:

"Jews who apply for a passport to travel abroad must do so in a special bureau and are immediately put under surveillance. The government does not generally allow all members of a family to travel abroad at the same time to prevent Jewish emigration. Again, the Jews live under the status of dhimmi, with the restrictions imposed on religious minorities. Jewish leaders fear government reprisals if they draw attention to official mistreatment of their community."

It seems you are incapable of reading??_

While I said:

Which part you haven??t got it yet? Numbers before revolution was about 180.000 after that some immigrated to US and some to Israhell.. Then few years ago some more because they were promised money by Israhell, you know??_ Jews and Money.. are like magnets to each other. Yet even now Iran still hosting largest jewish community in the Middle East??_. Focus on.. Middle East, not anywhere else you retard.
I love how he acted like you brought up female genitalia mutilation out of nowhere..
When he was the one who mentioned first how women are raped and murdered far more here in America ^.^?
Freaking idiot..
Your compassions like your numbers are nonsense??_
Quoting your asshole buddy Monty??_? here we go, Jews in Iran are free to go anywhere the wish but the Israhell (because of obvious reason) but having said that, travelling to Israhell is free too but it??s one- way- ticket with no return??_ again (because of obvious reason).

Qboner, I notice you forgot to quote THIS part:
"Now notice how Qboner presented that data. Did you think that the numbers would be that far apart? Doing some quick math (because Qboner isn't worth the effort to give an exact crunch of the numbers because he's just fucking ludicrous)... Israle has about 590 jews for every 1 living in Iran. The USA has about 542 for every 1 living in Iran.
Yet Qboner would present that one bolded statement as some sort of moral equivalence.
So in Qboner world, 5,901,100 and 5,425,000 = 10,200.
... and now you all know why I don't take him very seriously."

10,200 in Iran.... vs 5,901,100 in Israel. You're not exactly making a strong point here, Qboner. In fact, your point is self-defeating bullshit. Is there some new Qboner-Math that I'm missing here? Those numbers are not exactly close, no matter how you try to spin them.
Additionally, I notice you ignore what Monty wrote about restrictions on those Iranian Jews being able to leave.
Keep going Qboner... kicking your ass in a debate isn't even very difficult. I've got all day smile



Obviously you have no life.. take your time and expose more of your ignorance see if I gives a shit, I said what I had to say and it up to audience to follow or not??_!
Fucking cowmuncher retard now as Walter Mitty dreaming of kicking my ass??_ feel free and if you like taste it to.
