Drugging of detainess...

Jason Leopold and Jeffery Kaye are out with a new report today. This one on the use of mind altering drugs on detainees while they were being interrogated. "Detainees in custody of the US military were interrogated while drugged with powerful antipsychotic and other medications that "could impair an individual's ability to provide accurate information," according to a declassified Department of Defense (DoD) inspector general's report that probed the alleged use of "mind altering drugs" during interrogations."


This is of course disturbing on so many levels but to put it in perspective just remember that the DC Court of Appeals- the one that hears all of the appeals for Gitmo detainees - has said that it presumes that everything the detainees are alleged to have said is true and accurate and the burden is on the detainee to prove otherwise...couple that with the fact that it is virtually impossible to get the medical records of our clients....
