Feb 22 2014 A federal judge has ordered the Army to track down soldiers who were subjected to secret medical experiments during the Cold War and warn them of any newly discovered health hazards they could face.
In a ruling (PDF) entered Thursday in U.S. District Court in Oakland, Calif., Judge Claudia Wilken lifted a stay she had briefly imposed on her earlier ruling that the Army must keep soldiers who took part in the tests up to date. The government wanted the ruling to remain shelved while it pursued appeals.
The experiments, many of them conducted as part of a program called Operation Paperclip, tested hundreds of chemical and biological agents — including LSD, the nerve gas sarin, mustard gas and amphetamines — on soldiers beginning in the early 1950s.
President Richard Nixon ended the program in 1969, and all chemical testing on humans is believed to have ended in 1976.
The issue isn't that the approximately 7,800 soldiers didn't know that they were being used in the experiments — all of them signed consent agreements, lawyers representing them in the class-action suit acknowledge. Instead, they argue, the Army abandoned the soldiers once the terms of their consent expired, generally after five years.
But Wilken ruled in November (PDF) that the Army has an obligation to continue tracking the test subjects and to alert them to new information developed after 2006 about the effects of the agents they were given. The order she filed Thursday directs the Army to comply even though it's still appealing her decision.
Government lawyers had argued that the cost of implementing the order — which they estimated at $1.8 million a year — would constitute an "irreparable harm."
But Wilken wrote that that was an insignificant burden compared to the "irreversible health consequences" suffered by the soldiers.
The government also argued that courts have no jurisdiction to assess the medical judgments of military scientists and that there is no constitutional right to notice or health care. Wilken sided with the government on some claims, removing the CIA and Attorney General Eric Holder from the suit.

If the cat were really out of the bag they would know the demise of the health across the board in America today, (OUR FIBER DISEASE), is directly attributed either to this candlestein CIA, or possibly Chinese involvment during our war in Vietnam or the ungoverened abuse of antibiotics, other drugs in the endemic sex playgrounds of the US Military complex and connected civilian involvment in these endemic areas. Needles to say the American people have become unknowing, unthinking test subjects of the criminally insane power mongers and god complex elitists, they know whats best for the world. I am sure you are not aware but as I speak they push even stronger consumerism across the globe, disaster is coming, you can not have 12 billion people all driving cars without detremental consequences. Think a little deeper, come up with heating homes, electricity, building huge new citys where litterally nobody is living FOR MILLIONS of people, don´t believe it, Youtube (EMPTY CHINESE CITYS). Please do not mind my spelling the correctamundo comes up in Spanish, LOL.

I wonder if they are keeping the civilian test subjects up to date, out of the 8 or so people I know that went to Africa 3 almost died, is it circumstance or is it a easy way to test bioagents on the unsuspecting. Oh they went to Africa, oh yeah thats it, they have disease there because they are poor, yeah, really. news.msn.com/world/canada-rules-out-suspected-case-of-ebolaOne last thing they kept all of them there untill they sort of recovered and not one of them had a diagnosis. The odds are quite far out, out of 8 3 almost died, I am sure the limp minded will look for a GOOD answer to explain this, just as they will explain with ease the Vietnam soldiers coming hom with our dissease. Oh it just can not be our disease, it just can't funny thats where I contracted this malady. Yes yes yes, how in the world would I know its the same disease, thats the easy part. Does it matter that men are playing god, oh it could not happen, once again way to far out. Lets ask the computer physics genius he must know he is a physics genius. What pure crap people believe, before you had the bad issues of this malady all doctors were the BEST, how do you feel about that now, hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
