CIA brainwashing of N. Korean POWs detailed

Declassified documents reported by The Intercept show the CIA conducted brainwashing experiments on North Korean prisoners of war in the 1950s. These were early forms of mind-control research under the MKULTRA program, aimed at achieving a level of control where a person would follow orders against their own will and self-preservation instinct. The newly released records confirm details of the Project Bluebird experiments, which sought to develop techniques for 'personality control'.
