The People's Record

An ongoing chronicle of communities of resistance around the world: anti-racism, anti-zionism, anti-imperialism, the Arab Spring, anti-austerity protests in Greece and across Europe, student movements all around the world, the Occupy Movement, anti-capitalist movements, anarchist movements, socialist movements, leftist communities and other relevant international news.

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.

In addition, detainees were subjected to “chemical restraints,” hydrated with intravenous (IV) fluids while they were being interrogated and, in what appears to be a form of psychological manipulation, the inspector general’s probe confirmed at least one detainee - convicted “dirty bomb” plotter Jose Padilla - was the subject of a “deliberate ruse” in which his interrogator led him to believe he was given an injection of “truth serum.”
