General Donald Campbell Jr. on watch

Please be patient as all these articles are connected.  (I believe the NIMH was involved in the studies (waterboarding) done in Iraq....... and also, if I remember correctly, there was a Law and Order episode on this (the shrinks who were doing the studies???)  I also remember references to NIMH when I worked at META Services and in fact they had people speaking at a conference I attended back in the day............  ...cal

Toxic trials on foster children

In the nightmarish, surreal world of pediatric clinical trials, infants, toddlers, children and teenagers are forced to ingest dangerous, toxic pharmaceuticals. In 2004, a shocking series of expose's revealed this horrifying practice in at least seven U.S. states. The NIH clinical trial scandal originally broke in January of 2004. Government funded researchers were using New York city orphans in trials for combinations of highly toxic drugs. [16]
The tragedy became the basis for the British documentary "Guinea Pig Kids", which aired on November 30, 2004 on British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC).[17] See also foster child drug trials.

The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) is one of 27 Institutes and Centers that comprise the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The NIH, in turn, is an agency of the United States Department of Health and Human Services and is the primary agency of the United States government responsible for biomedical and health-related research.
NIMH is the largest research organization in the world specializing in mental illness. Dr. Thomas R. Insel, M.D., is the current Director of NIMH. The Institute was first authorized by the U.S. Government in 1946, when then President Harry Truman signed into law the National Mental Health Act, although the Institute was not formally established until 1949. [1] NIMH is a $1.5 billion enterprise, supporting research on mental health through grants to investigators at institutions and organizations throughout the United States and through its own internal (intramural) research effort. The mission of NIMH is to transform the understanding and treatment of mental illnesses through basic and clinical research, paving the way for prevention, recovery, and cure.

Fort Hood battles spikes in suicides
— On Friday, a 24-year-old accounting specialist who returned from Iraq in December was found dead from a gunshot wound in Temple. On Saturday, a 29-year-old mechanic who had deployed four times to Iraq and Afghanistan died of a gunshot wound in Copperas Cove. That same day, a 39-year-old artilleryman who had deployed twice was found dead at his on-post home.
Then, on Sunday, Sgt. Michael Timothy Franklin and his wife were found dead of gunshot wounds at their on-post home in an apparent murder-suicide. The couple's 6-year-old daughter and 2-year-old son are in the care of Fort Hood's child protective services.
On Wednesday, Fort Hood commanders announced that they were conducting an exhaustive review to identify soldiers who are at risk for suicide as this massive Army post reels from a record number of them — including the four suspected suicides over the past weekend. Fort Hood officials said they would also conduct a review of the post's privately owned weapons registration and visit soldiers living off post in hopes of stemming the alarming rise in suicides.
Since the beginning of the year, there have been 14 confirmed suicides and six suspected suicides of Fort Hood soldiers. That would put Fort Hood on a pace to shatter its annual record for suicides since the beginning of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Fort Hood had 14 suicides in 2008 and 11 last year.
"This is a very frustrating issue," Maj. Gen. William F. Grimsley, Fort Hood's senior commander, said Wednesday. "It's all about leadership."

Ft. Hood hearing has ended

Hasan charged with 13 counts of murder

FORT HOOD, Texas (AP) - A hearing to determine if an Army psychiatrist should stand trial in the worst mass shooting on a U.S. military base ended Monday with defense lawyers presenting no evidence.
After a three-week break, accused gunman Maj. Nidal Hasan was back in court at Fort Hood to resume his Article 32 hearing. His lawyers chose to call no witnesses at the military court proceeding.
Col. James Pohl, the investigating officer in the case, will recommend whether Hasan should go to trial on 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 counts of attempted premeditated murder for last November's attack at the Texas post. That decision ultimately will be made by Fort Hood's commanding general. Military officials haven't said if they'll seek the death penalty if the case goes to trial.

Hasan’s lawyer argues against death penalty for his client

I can understand a lawyer trying to avoid the death penalty for his client; it’s what he’s paid to do. But in cases like this one, where the evidence is so overwhelming  that there will be little room left for leniency, the  lawyer for the Fort Hood shooter has resorted to grasping at straws to find a reason to keep his client alive:
Maj. Nidal Hasan’s defense team is meeting Thursday with Lt. Gen. Donald Campbell, who will decide whether Hasan is court-martialed and faces the death penalty.
Hasan’s lead attorney, John Galligan, said he’ll urge Campbell not to seek the death penalty because such cases are more costly, time-consuming and restrictive. (emphasis mine)
If Campbell decides Hasan will go to trial but military jurors cannot consider the death penalty if he’s convicted, then the punishment will be life in prison without parole.
I guess if something takes too long and costs too it should be avoided?
Somehow, I don’t believe that a majority of U.S. citizens would balk at the added expense and time it would take to make sure this man gets his justice.   Major  Hasan not only premeditated and committed these murders, but he committed them against members of the armed services of which he belonged.  It’s a traitorous act to be sure and undeserving of life imprisonment.

Subconscious Restructuring® is the only evidence-based program process in behavioral health to uniformly comply with an extensive Rand Study on PTSD in the Military
A Rand study from the Center for Military Health Policy Research titled “Invisible Wounds of War” supports an evidence-based plan for intervention and prevention of PTSD and Suicide in the military. Subconscious Restructuring® or SR® ® has 26 years of research, development and documented results with the primary symptom of PTSD and suicide. The Rand study just confirmed what we have been attempting to convey to the mental health system for almost 20 years states Kelly Burris, PhD, developer of the SR® process.
The Rand study establishes several conclusions that are clearly stated in the SR® plan for the military titled “Implementation of Evidence-Based SR® Process into the Military.” The primary instrument used in the SR® process for data collection is an Emotional Checklist. The Emotional Checklist measures 12 components that are determinants for a depressed state with Fear, Guilt and Anger identified to be the most significant.

Excerpt:
For the first time in several years, most soldiers assigned to Fort Hood were home from deployment in 2010. The Army believes that problems relating to combat strains and family separation often surface during the months immediately after a soldier comes home.
While final numbers have not been released, the Army was hopeful that suicides among active-duty soldiers might be tracking lower than 2009. However, overall numbers — when suicides among non-active members of the National Guard and Reserve are included — will make 2010 a record year for Army suicides, it says.
“I think the military is busting their butts trying to get some answers on what the best practices will be for this population,” Trent says. “It’s a bloody learning curve.”
