: Legal Pad | LASuit demands recognition and health care for veteran "lab rats"
By Richard Binder
Six servicemen are suing the CIA and the US Army on behalf of thousands of American soldiers who underwent chemical, biological and drug tests in the 1950s-1970s during the Cold War. The servicemen say they are seeking recognition and health care, but no money.
The suit, prepared by the San Francisco-based law firm Morrison and Foerster, alleges "a chilling tale of human experimentation, covert military operations and heretofore unchecked abuses of power by our own government" and says the soldiers were used "in the same capacity as laboratory rats."
The suit was filed by the Vietnam Veterans of America in federal court in Oakland, California. A trial date has not been set.
