CIA looked into potential truth serum for post-9/11 interrogations

The CIA considered using a drug it believed would act as a truth serum when interrogating prisoners about potential terror attacks following the Sept. 11 attacks, according to a recently declassified report.

The report, which was made public Tuesday, detailed “Project Medication,” in which the CIA’s Office of Medical Services researched on whether Versed, a psychoactive medication, could be used to interrogate prisoners.

The CIA believed that the drug should be considered for a trial if “unequivocal legal sanction first were obtained." However, the report said the agency chose not to go forward with asking for approval for using the drug.
