Lots of what is in the report ..if not all , was all known and speculated decades ago...if anything the report is just a pr campaign designed to show how arrogant the US still is.

Where is the Kennedy and other covered up assasination documents? Where are the heavily covered up ufo reports that they themselves say are secret. Where are the biological experiments on Canadians (toxic cloud over winnipeg etc.)

Lsd experiments on unwitting Canadians are old news and all settled out of court years ago.

What a farce the report is.

I stand slitely corrected...there is mention of the winnipeg spraying. Whats disgusting is it's well known that the product sprayed on them is "rat poison" and the Canadian does nothing...just sits on their pathetic laurals saying ..spray me some more.

While the Army told local officials in Minneapolis that
the compound was completely harmless, again in quotes, inhaling
or ingesting cadmium compounds has long been regarded as posing
serious health hazards, such as liver and kidney disease and,
more recently, the compounds have been viewed as carcinogens.

The Army has defended the zinc cadmium sulfide test as
necessary both to explore the dispersal of chemical warfare
agents and to develop knowledge about biological warfare, but
told Minneapolis officials going back then only that the spraying
was related to smoke screen studies.

In addition to Minneapolis, St. Louis, Corpus Christi,
and Winnipeg, were subject to spraying in 1953, while 239 cities
coast to coast were exposed to zinc cadmium sulfide in 1957 and
1958.

The agency developed a network of informants on Canadian campuses in the late 1960s and had reports sent down from Ottawa to the CIA's headquarters at Langley, Va.

Here's an example of the harassment of a Canadian by the foreign spy agency and local quislings:

Several other Canadians connected to Simon Fraser University also ended up under CIA scrutiny.

In 1969, Martin Loney was the president of Simon Fraser's student union and a well-known radical among Canadian students.

After graduating with a doctorate in sociology, Loney said he began to suspect the CIA, Britain's MI-5 and the RCMP were blocking his career path with misinformation.

"I knew I was on a U.S. watch list because I've been having trouble flying for years," Loney said.

"I was denied a job at the Nova Scotia College of Design because the principal said, 'We're not having him here because he'll burn down the building.'"

Without a public apology one has to assume that such harassment is still going on.

"Everything described in the documents is still being done, only in a more brutal manner around the entire planet, including an increasing number of illegal actions in the very United States," President Castro wrote. [...]

One of the key revelations of the documents was that the CIA tried to persuade mobster Johnny Roselli in 1960 to plot the assassination of the Cuban leader.

The plan was for poisoned pills to be put in Mr Castro's food, but it was shelved after the US-sponsored invasion of the Bay of Pigs failed a year later.

Mr Castro has long accused the US, including President George W Bush, of plotting to kill him.

In his editorial, Mr Castro also refers to the assassination of John F Kennedy, saying the US president was the victim of the CIA and anti-Castro Cuban exiles.

Mr Castro says Lee Harvey Oswald could not have acted alone in killing the president.

"You lose the target after every shot even if it is not moving and have to find it again in fractions of a second," Mr Castro, himself an expert marksman, says.
