If the alleged CIA implants were not implanted in the brains of U.S. Military personnel, is it any less unconscionable government contracted private researchers to implant behavioral control devices in unwitting civilians as "test subjects"; prisoners, hospital patients and nursing home residents? If government will do these things like this to Americans, as alleged in the lawsuit brought by Veterans, what else might government do to injure Citizens?
