EXCLUSIVE: Controversial Drug Given to All Guantanamo
Detainees Akin to "Pharmacologic Waterboarding"
From the article:
The Defense Department forced all "war on
terror" detainees at the Guantanamo Bay prison to take a high dosage of a
controversial antimalarial drug, mefloquine, an act that an Army public health
physician called "pharmacologic waterboarding."
The US military administered the drug despite Pentagon knowledge that
mefloquine caused severe neuropsychiatric side effects, including suicidal
thoughts, hallucinations and anxiety. The drug was used on the prisoners
whether they had malaria or not.
