Jacobsen really does shoddy or sloppy research, which compounds the amount of misinformation out there! Just several items: she soft peddles on the heinous monsters John J. McCloy pardoned and transported to America, which really bothered me, as we're talking about some truly monstrous butchers! Also, Jacobsen repeats the official fictional story by the CIA of Frank Olson's death - - inexcusable! Independent witnesses in London corroborated that several days prior to Olson's death he witnessed a horrible experiment on a young British soldier, not a volunteer, who had been ordered to take part in an experiment involving a " treatment for the common cold " where they administered Sarin topically to him, and he died a painful death hours later. (Years later, a British government investigation would verify this and award a large sum of money to his surviving family.) After witnessing this, Olson flew back to America, where he submitted his resignation. He wasn't administered LSD and jumped out of any window (his skull was bashed in and he was thrown out)! His son exhumed his body years later and the pathologist ruled murder! PERIOD! Jacobsen is a loser when it comes to the facts, just as she completely messed up her previous book with the nonsense ending of the Roswell incident - - absolutely and outrageously false! Don't have time to waste to invalidate everything she wrote, hopeful there's something factual? Jacobsen mentions that CIA doctors were on the staff of the former Chestnut Lodge sanitarium once located in Rockville Maryland - - the CIA had an entire wing of that sanitarium for their MK ULTRA program: a newspaper report verified an accident at the sanitarium's entrance, back in the 1970s, between CIA director Richard Helms and another vehicle. Helms claimed he was seeing a psychoanalyst there, when in actuality he was destroying their files before his upcoming testimony before congress! As an author, or as a reporter, I wouldn't trust anything Jacobsen writes!
