Joking aside. Hmmm, I wonder how they will interrogate him about everything he did while in power? Are they just going to beat it out of him? A dictator like him is probably numb to psychological and physical pain. If he is able to torture opponents and laugh at them, I don't think physical punishment will work on him. So I got wondering about the so-called "truth serum", Thiopental Sodium and how is it effective?
The Merck index says:"
Preparation is covered by US Patents 2,153,729 (1939), 2,876,225 (1959).
"Yellowish-white hygroscopic powder. Alliaceous, garlic-like odor. Sol
in water, alcohol...."
And a google search says: " It makes the
neural membrane more permeable to chloride ions, resulting in general inhibition, starting with the cortex and working down to the lower brain regions with increasing biological effect."
How effective is the "truth serum"? Are there anything else than Thiopental Sodium as truth serum?
