    CIA Ran MK-ULTRA Experiments on Prisoners of War in U.S. Custody, Declassified Docs Confirm

    Declassified CIA documents confirm that Korean prisoners of war in the 1950s were subjected to early MK-ULTRA experiments, including polygraph tests and plans for drug and hypnotism-based mind control. The National Security Archive released over 1,200 records detailing Project Bluebird, MK-ULTRA's precursor, which aimed to develop interrogation techniques for 'personality control.'
