Sidney Gottlieb (August 3, 1918 – March 7, 1999), nicknamed Dr. Death, was the head of the CIA's MK-Ultra program. In 1953, he attended a CIA retreat at Deep Creek Lodge, Maryland with his deputy Frank Olson, who was drugged and then died several days later after violating security protocols.[1]
Biological warfare[edit | edit source]
During the Korean War, Gottlieb ordered Hans Tofte to collect insects, rats, and voles from Korea to use for biological weapon development. He traveled with Frank Olson to Tōkyō and visited the Far East Command's Unit 406 Medical Laboratory where researchers were using anthrax, cholera, and plague to make weapons.[1]
