"Dr. Mary's Monkey"

[Ed Jewett]

Jan, thay had truckloads full of exacting information on subjects under all kinds of conditions, knowing age, health status, means of administration, naive or not to what to expect, mixes of drugs, dosages, etc. They may have just wanted to see what would happen in 'real world' chemical attack on a population [where one can't control much of anything]. If they did it [and I believe they did], they would have had persons to record the reactions/effects hidden about. That real world reaction might have been all they cared about - not careful dosages, who got what/where and maybe even how. Dresden, Hiroshima and Nagasaki were rather 'messy' experiments, as well....I can name others.

At which point the science enters in as statistic analysis.

Or maybe there is a CIA science, which is might go like this: "Screw it. Let's do and see what happens." The "scientific" analysis is at the level of: "Shit, man, that was really cool."

When you have a culture of unlimited power with no accountability, anybody can do anything for almost any reason. Just sayin.'

That (in fewer words) was what I was trying to say.
