And how about Sirhan Sirhan, whose name seems to have escaped from an episode 
of 'Dr Who'!  I rest my case.

Having recently seen the latest Bourne flick ... thus making me an instant expert on CIA miscreants and the "brainwashing" training which they receive, let me add something ;^}

Wiki sez: Sirhan was hypnotized in prison by Dr. Bernard Diamond, who simply instructed Sirhan to climb the bars of his cage like a monkey.

He did so. After the trance was removed, Sirhan was shown tapes of his actions. He insisted that he "acted like a monkey" of his own free will- he claimed he wanted the exercise. Apparently, it was almost as if he had been taught a routine for rationalizing to others any hypnotic episode, so as NOT to indicate to them that he was easily hypnotized.

BTW despite an Islamic sounding name, Sirhan was born to Christian parents in Palestine and became a Fundamentalist Baptist in the USA - ergo - Islam had nothing to do with this incident. Millions of Americans thought he was a Muslim; a view which pleased the Administration and they did nothing to squelch that myth.

One other thing...

... come to think of it - ever notice the physical similarities between Oswald and Sirhan?

Does the trait of 'ultra-suggestivity' - which results in being able to be hypnotized very easily - have any cross-connection to physical traits?

Bet they know this in Langley... maybe even in Manhattan [Dr. Albert Hirsch (Albert Finney) was the NYC doctor in charge of Bourne's "Operation Treadstone" psychological training].

Of course, no one on Vortex believes in such things as secret mind control projects, like MKUltra - do you?
