Maybe. There's a lot of conjecture in that claim.
This is sort of how most of these CIA programs went.
Some stupid idea that only got off the ground because it was all classified so no one could come along and say, what the fuck are you people doing?
It's always the same story, nothing of value was created or learned, and most of the people hurt were likely not the intended targets.
Well put. And often the people hurt were their own citizens.
