Revealed: How the Government studied the paranormal for use in war on terror - The Daily Record

Good article from Scotland's Daily Record paper with several quotes from Nick Pope.

One study into the phenomenon of psychics, or remote viewing as the MoD call it, was secretly commissioned only a month after the New York terror attacks.
A questionnaire was sent to psychics, none of whom knew it was an MoD project, and it was probably disguised as an academic study. NICK said: "It raises the question of what other academic studies looking at fringe sciences are being run by the military?"
In the documents, there are hints of small breakthroughs. Testers asked psychics to identify a series of hidden images including a wine glass and a picture of Mother Teresa.
The files reveal the psychics "may have accessed some features of the target" - that is, the images. Later, it even talked about recruiting one or two of the psychics to "go after the sensitive targets". The next part of the study was blacked out but coming so close to 9/11 would suggest that terrorists were the "targets".

Found this particular quote of interest.
