Child Abuse & Neglect: Dissociative Identity Disorder Author: Muhammad Waseem, MD, Coauthor(s): Richard M Switzer, Jr, MD "Research statistics have revealed an astonishing incidence of trauma, including childhood physical and sexual abuse, in the histories of both psychiatric patients and the general population. The deleterious effects of childhood abusive experiences on growth and development have been well documented and are associated with a variety of later mental health problems. Diagnosis of dissociative identity disorder is not usually made until adulthood, long after the extreme maltreatment thought to engender the condition has passed. Therefore, although a consensus exists that the most common cause of the disorder is early, ongoing, extreme physical and/or sexual abuse, accounts of such abuse are usually provided retrospectively by the patient and lack objective verification. Researchers have shown that, in many instances, borderline personality disorder, multiple personality disorder (MPD), and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in adulthood may be traced to childhood abuse." http://www.emedicine.com/ped/topic2651.htm
Child abusers 'escape punishment' David Batty 11/15/04 "The vast majority of paedophiles continue to evade justice with conviction rates falling despite soaring levels of recorded child sex abuse, according to research published today. Thinktank the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF) warned that the failure to improve the conviction rate for child sex offences meant that paedophiles were undeterred from applying to work with children." http://society.guardian.co.uk/children/story/0,1074,1351600,00.html

A city lies in ruins, along with the lives of the wretched survivors By Michael Georgy in Fallujah and Kim Sengupta 15 November 2004
After six days of intense combat against the Fallujah insurgents, US warplanes, tanks and mortars have left a shattered landscape of gutted buildings, crushed cars and charred bodies. A drive through the city revealed a picture of utter destruction, with concrete houses flattened, mosques in ruins, telegraph poles down, power and phone lines hanging slack and rubble and human remains littering the empty streets. The north-west Jolan district, once an insurgent stronghold, looked like a ghost town, the only sound the rumbling of tank tracks.
The Cold War Experiments - Radiation tests were only one small part of a vast research program that used thousands of Americans as guinea pigs.U.S News and World Report, January 24, 1994. By Stephen Budiansky, Erica E. Goode and Ted Gest "On June 1, 1951, top military and intelligence officials of the United States, Canada and Great Britain, alarmed by the frightening reports of communist success at ``intervention in the individual mind,'' summoned a small group of eminent psychologists to a secret meeting at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Montreal. The Soviets had gotten Hungary's Joszef Cardinal Mindszenty, an outspoken anti-communist, to confess to espionage, and they also seemed to be able to indoctrinate political enemies and even control the thoughts of entire populations. the researchers were convinced that the communists' success must be the fruit of some mysterious breakthroughs. By the following September, U.S. government scientists, spurred on by reports that American prisoners of war were being brainwashed in North Korea, were proposing an urgent, top-secret research program on behavior modification. Drugs, hypnosis, electroshock, lobotomy -- all were to be studied as part of a vast U.S. effort to close the mind-control gap. New revelations that government cold war experiments exposed thousands of Americans to radiation have prompted fresh congressional inquiries, including a hearing last week on tests conducted on retarded children in Massachusetts. a Department of Energy hot line set to to handle calls from possible subjects of the tests has been swamped. But the radiation experiments are only one facet of a vast cold war research program that used thousands of Americans as guinea pigs. From the end of world War II well in to the 1970s, the Atomic Energy Commission, the Defense Department, the military services, the CIA and other agencies used prisoners, drug addicts, mental patients, college students, soldiers, even bar patrons, in a vast range of government-run experiments to test the effects of everything from radiation, LSD and nerve gas to intense electric shocks and prolonged ``sensory deprivation.'' Some of the human guinea pigs knew what they were getting into; many others did not even know they were being experimented on. But in the life-and-death struggle with communism, America could not afford to leave any scientific avenue unexplored." http://www.datafilter.com/mc/coldWarExperiments.html
