I do agree that the official history is rubbish, but I would daresay that some of the alternative histories (e.g. Acid Dreams) don't get to the roots of the problem either.
Assuming that these sorts of techniques were indeed rather well-developed by 1952, I'd venture a guess that their history had to have gone back further, including for example Cameron's activities with Rudolf Hess in the mid-'40's, Camp King in Germany in the period immediately after WW2, not to mention the Nazi endeavor during the War which somehow blessed the American program with its technique and knowledge. I'd also wonder what sort of activities like this might have preceded WW2...
I have a question also concerning the Panama allegations: Does anybody know the original source of these sorts of claims? Certainly there was something about black sites in the Canal Zone back in the '50's in Tim Weiner's Legacy of Ashes, and there were also claims made about Dan Mitrione's involvement with terminal experiments/teaching demonstrations of interrogation technique using homeless people from the streets of Panama City, but anything anyone knows concerning corroborating evidence would be greatly appreciated...
