The agency conducted experiments on human beings, often without their consent, using substances like LSD, hypnosis, electroshock, sleep deprivation, and psychological torture. Subjects were frequently prisoners, psychiatric patients, or unwitting civilians. The goals were to develop techniques to: Extract information from enemies Control human behavior Potentially create "programmed agents" The project was exposed in 1975 by the U.S. Senate's Church Committee. The CIA had destroyed most documents in 1973, but some files accidentally survived. In 1977 the CIA Director publicly acknowledged the program's existence. In 1995 the U.S. government officially apologized to the victims.
