It may be difficult for Americans to comprehend the frame of mind of the men who started the CIA's program to manipulate human behavior. CIA leaders were certain the Commies were doing it, and they were determined to find a defense with Project Bluebird (1950), then Artichoke, then MKULTRA. Each code name broadened their sweep.
