 | | Many intelligence analysts say the quickest way may be to administer the controversial drugs known as truth serum. | | | There are some concerns that these techniques are already going too far, and that the use of truth drugs would be a form of torture. | | | Among those who say the so-called truth drugs should be used on al Qaeda prisoners -- if they're not already -- is the man in our story, Jed Babbin. |

| Â | AlterNet: Truth Serums & Torture |
| | In discussing this issue, cable-TV commentators and other pundits generally have treated "truth serum" as a softer means of extracting information compared to more traditional torture, with commentators weighing the pros and cons of the two approaches. | | | Even more problematic, from a human rights standpoint, is a long history of practice that blurs the moral lines between the use of interrogation drugs and more overt methods of torture. | | | Yet, U.S. spymasters, knowing that torture subjects may simply tell an interrogator what he wants to hear, have long yearned for a drug that could pull reliable information out of an unwilling subject. |

| | It acts as a rocket, sending us up past the gravitational pull that this world/other voice/ego/judge/guard has on us, so we can experience our true nature-our light, which is HIS LIGHT, (and the freedom, love, joy, creativity, truth & oneness that is inherent within HIS LIGHT). | | | They facilitate our integration of these concepts into our “busy moments”, helping us remember to respond vs. react at all times. |

| | Others are so suggestible they will describe, in response to suggestive questioning, behavior which never in fact occurred....But drugs are not 'truth sera.' They lessen inhibitions to verbalization and stimulate unrepressed expression not only of fact but of fancy and suggestions as well. | | | The international Principles of Medical Ethics Relevant to the Role of Health Personnel provide that the participation of doctors or other medical practitioners in the administration of such drugs for interrogation purposes would violate medical ethics. | | | Sain, 372 U.S. Investigators are not severely handicapped by not being able to use "truth serums." While certain drugs may reduce a person's inhibitions against talking, they do not guarantee that the person will in fact tell the truth. |

| | This theory was reflected in the colorful name "truth serum" given to the drug. | | | My lawyer says that taking the drug might help my lawsuit, by helping me and my doctor decide what really happened to me when I was a child. | | | This principle was applied to the belief that people always tell the truth under Amytal -- that is, patients were tested to see if they could tell falsehoods during Amytal interviews. |

| Â | What is Truth Serum? |
| | This drug produces the state of full relaxation and makes patients more susceptible to suggestion, allowing the psychiatrists to uncover the repressed feelings or memories. | | | This drug was supposed to be the "truth serum". | | | Dorlands' Illustrated Medical Dictionary describes truth serum as "ultra-short-acting barbiturate (drug) to produce general anesthesia, … and for narcoanalysis in psychiatric disorders." The proper name for this drug is thiopental sodium; it is also called Sodium Pentothal, because it is actually a trademark of Abbott Laboratories - the drug's manufacturer. |

| Â | The Science of High Incident: Sodium Pentothal |
| | Sodium Pentothal received the nickname "Truth Serum" because its effects, guided by the psychiatrist in therapy sessions, caused the patient to become very communicative, verbalizing thoughts easily without inhibition. | | | While under the effect of the drug, however, the patient may lose his inhibitions, but he does not lose self-control (just as in hypnosis: a person can't be hypnotized into doing something he doesn't want to do, or is unnatural to him, like robbing a bank). | | | For that reason, a patient will not tell the truth if he chooses not to. |

| | The method relies on asking questions in pairs and analysing the relationship between the answers in a so-called Bayesian approach – which assumes that the answers are interlinked. | | | Finding out if someone is answering a question truthfully is a murky process, often inaccessible to the questioner - sometimes even the person answering cannot be sure. | | | It is this perception of what other people’s answer might be which gives hints as to whether the person is telling the truth – especially when their answer is the unusual or unpopular option. |
