Scott Horton Show - Just the Interviews

Scott talks with Jeffrey Kaye about an article he recently published on the CIA’s effort to suppress reports about the use of bio-weapons by U.S. forces fighting in Korea. The agency went to great lengths to dismiss those rumors and claims as communist propaganda and the results of brainwashing. Then in 2010, the agency declassified documents that contained evidence of U.S. bio-weapons use in the Korean War. Kaye and Scott discuss the relevant history and why it’s important today. Discussed on the show: “Secret Plan Revealed: CIA Told to ‘Destroy’ Those Supporting Communist Germ Warfare ‘Myth’” (Medium) Human Smoke by Nicholson Baker “Who Really Started the Korean War?” (Antiwar.com) “False” Confessions Cover-up: U.S. Told Airmen Who Admitted Germ War in Korea They Could Reveal Information If Captured” (Medium) M*A*S*H Jeffrey Kaye is the author of Cover-up at Guantanamo: The NCIS Investigation into the “Suicides” of Mohammed Al Hanashi and Abdul Rahman Al Amri.
