Operation Midnight - Governments are capable of ANYTHING
Well, actually, it does come down to the people.
Unfortunately, huge government bureaucracies and questionable accountability allow bad things to happen...

At SFweekly.com, Troy Hooper tells a story that borders on the unbelievable:
"Seymour Hersh first exposed MK-ULTRA in a New York Times article in 1974 that documented CIA illegalities, including the use of its own citizens as guinea pigs in games of war and espionage. John Marks expertly chronicled more of the operation in his 1979 book, The Search for the Manchurian Candidate. There have been other reports on the CIA's doping of civilians, but they have mostly dished about activities in New York City. Accounts of what actually occurred in San Francisco have been sparse and sporadic. But newly declassified CIA records, recent interviews, and a personal diary of an operative at Stanford Special Collections shed more light on the breadth of the San Francisco operation."
