seems like the topic of the day is fear of retaliation. this guy seems like a heavy weight opponent. not to underestimate these people's egos. my (bad) experience - be as aboveboard as you can, and if possible organize an open protest. they usually don't mess with that, but with people who act alone. at least in israel, the only (few and insignificant) effective action against these types was through media (get the attention of a good and strong journalist) OR via NGO's. <br>There is one organization I know a bit, called MInd Freedom mindfreedom.org), in the USA, doing a great job. email them, they'd be more than happy to advice or cooperate, get hooked to them by membership at least. There is a pretty solid coation around these issues, why act alone ? even "spying" for them is better than partisan work. always have backup from a solid, aboveboard, recognized NGO or media outlet or student body. <br>Also, there is a website AHRP.org, for ethics in medical research stuff. there's lots of info there. And, finally, Citizen...something (Nader's group) IN DC, has an office for medical/pharma monitoring. Although I once checked with them about psychiatry (I call it SPY-chiatry) and torture/mind control (re Israel) and they made it clear that psychiatry is not their top priority, and Israel is not on their plate. <br> <p></p><i></i>
