During the war, the CIA conducted interrogation and brainwashing experiments on some North Korean and Chinese prisoners of war as part of Project Artichoke, which was launched in 1951 by the Office of Scientific Intelligence under the direction of Army brigadier general Paul F. Gaynor.[citation needed] Prisoners were subjected to hypnosis experiments as well as forced addiction to and withdrawals from substances such as LSD, in an attempt to produce amnesia so the subjects could be made to perform acts against their will.[1] Subjects were also purposely infected with a number of diseases such as dengue fever in hopes that said viruses could be used as potential incapacitating agents.[2][3]
