Remember those names!

Brainwashing subject matter
Mental patients on ECT

Projects "Artichoke"
and "Bluebird" used for cover
Investigating

Interrogation techniques
CIA financed research

Drugging the subjects
Isolate- deprive- cajole
Total mind control

Disorientation to
"induce deep and sustained shock"

Then translated to
Methods/acts of questioning
Detainees of war

Refusing humanity
In extracting truth desired

Hooded, stripped, beaten
Sensory deprivation
Humiliation

Government's permissible
Indiscretion's overlooked

Wiping the slates clean
Cold War to War On Terror
"Kubark manual"

The "War Crimes Act 96"
(Ratified by the U.K.A)

Prohibits torture
Violence and degradation
On human captives

Abu Ghraib? Guantanamo Bay?
Has justice turned blind eyes away?

The distinction between
"Dereliction of duty"
And cold blooded murder.

(Inspired by Naomi Klein's
War on Terror- "The Shock Doctrine")
