The FDA gave permission on November 29 for large-scale, Phase 3 clinical trials of Ecstasy for people suffering with post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD.

[1] Preliminary trials of Ecstasy, also called MDMA, for PTSD have been successful, but a large-scale trial is necessary before the FDA can approve it.

International organizations and national governments have begun to formally recognize its importance to freedom of speech, expression and information exchange.

By: Alice Salles (ANTIMEDIA Op-Ed) What the New CIA Leaks Tell Us About the U.S. Government  WikiLeaks may have finally done what many small and anti-government advocates have only dreamed of.
