In this first part of a two-part article, David Price looks at one of several research programmes funded in the 1950s and 1960s by the Central Intelligence Agency under the MK-Ultra programme in which social scientists, including anthropologists, were led (mostly unwittingly) to provide input into interrogation techniques still in use today. The second part, to be published in a future issue, will examine more concretely how this research found its way into the Kubark manual used by US intelligence at detention facilities abroad and through its programme of 'extreme renditions'.
