I'm not big into conspiracies normally, but there are a lot of unanswered questions here so I enjoy speculation. Is MK Ultra is mind control device? Or is that more like brainwashing? Either way it's interesting.
Yeah, torture definately goes on somewhere, but the only place I've heard of it happening is on Guantanamo. Then again, they can release it because technically even though it's illegal under the constitution, they're not on US soil there.
Also, you'd be surprised about how un-oil-grabbing our government really is, I know I am :P When Iraq nationalized our oil wells and we invaded, I assumed we'd take them back for the American companies sooner or later, but nope. We never even touched the oil wells. If anything, oil prices rose because when we were all done everyone in Iraq was pissed at us.
