...added that Iraq's exotic weapons programs also involved the use of psycho-tropic agents similar to LSD. ?They were not meant to kill, just incapacitate, confuse,? says the inspector. This had been designed, he says, as a means to fight off rag-tag Iranian forces in the late 1980?s during the long war between Baghdad and Tehran. The other WMD weapons Iraq may still have were initially designed to ?fight off Iranian human wave attacks, they really weren't meant against a force like the U.S. military...

The Fremen have been exploited for centuries because their desert planet (Arrakis, or Dune) is the sole source of "spice," a substance that makes hyperspace travel possible, expands consciousness and extends life--it's oil, LSD and Botox all in one. (Spice is an excretion of Dune's giant sandworms, but people ingested weirder stuff for less benefit in the '60s.)

Most of the time their judgment was sound, but there were plenty of appalling exceptions. In the 1950s Army doctors gave LSD to soldiers without telling them what it was. In 1963 researchers injected prisoners and terminally ill patients with live cancer cells to test their immune responses; they were told only that it was a "skin test." In the 1950s mentally retarded children at Willowbrook, a state institution in New York, were deliberately infected with hepatitis...
