OAKLAND, Calif. - The U.S. Army wants to delay giving certain notice to the veterans on whom it tested drugs during the Cold War, pending cross-appeals with Vietnam Veterans of America.

(CN) - The Army has a duty to warn any veterans subjected to Cold War-era drug experiments about potential health concerns as they become aware of them, a federal judge ruled.
The ruling comes in a class action Vietnam Veterans of America filed against various government defendants in 2009, claiming that at least 7,800 soldiers had been used as guinea pigs in Project Paperclip.
Soldiers were allegedly administered at least 250 and perhaps as many as 400 types of drugs, among them Sarin, one of the most deadly drugs known, amphetamines, barbiturates, mustard gas, phosgene gas and LSD.
Using tactics it often attributed to the Soviet enemy, the U.S. government sought drugs to control human behavior, cause confusion, promote weakness or temporary loss of hearing and vision, induce hypnosis, and enhance a person's ability to withstand torture, according to the complaint.
