This sounds like something Mikhail Bulgakov might have written, deep in the sinister phantasmagoria of the Stalinist night. From the Israeli service ynetnews.com:

One of the large mental health hospitals in Israel was recently surprised to receive a young, good-looking patient in a psychotic state who was accompanied by a personal security guard, Yedioth Ahronoth reported on Sunday.

The doctors, who asked why the woman was accompanied by a guard, were shocked to learn that she was a Mossad agent and that the security guard was not assigned to her in order assure her safety or protect her life, but to ensure that she not reveal any state secrets in her shaky mental state.
 
The Mossad guard's orders were clear: "It is forbidden that the organization's secrets be passed on to those unauthorized to hear them." The doctors, who are unaccustomed to the presence of a third party during their treatment sessions, were left with no choice but to acquiesce to their demands. In addition, the staff had to receive a security clearance before being allowed to work on her exceptional case.

To their complete amazement, another young woman, also accompanied by a secret agent charged with ensuring that the she not leak any state secrets, arrived at the institution just a short time later. The doctors learned that she, too, is a Mossad agent.

It seems evident that the young women were driven mad by acts they have witnessed -- or carried out. These act were literally unspeakable crimes of state -- hence the presence of the state's goons to prevent the slightest whisper of the dark deeds from escaping.

This story's efficacy as both paradigm and prophecy for our modern world could hardly be bettered.

	My mother always said... ... that when a person in a family went for psychotherapy, it was the person least in need. I.e., that person had enough sanity left to realize the need for professional help. This article seems to show that the entire Israeli state is so sick that even psychotics are sane by comparison.

	Real Horrorshow "It seems evident that the young women were driven mad by acts they have witnessed -- or carried out." Like the illicit harvesting of Palestinian body parts, perhaps?

	This report is chilling. Especially since, I think, many of us sense that such crimes have been occurring for some time since WWII. To have two young women driven mad by their Mossad, er, association, within a short period of time... Could there be some neo-MK-ULTRA action going on here? *shiver* http://tinyurl.com/ygluxt9

Not evident I'm sorry, nothing "seems evident" about the etiology of these cases. The crimes of Mossad are many and heinous, but we know nothing of the activities of these particular agents, or of their private medical histories. I rely on Chris for authoritative analysis and commentary, but this sort of unsupported speculation does not do him credit. What surprises me is that Mossad and/or IDF apparently do not have a facility of their own to handle cases like this, away from the notice of the media. @Art James: WTF?

... I don't get Mr Nance's comment. What is "speculation" is clearly speculative; I see no attempt to substitute speculation for cold factual analysis. Where does Mr Floyd pretend he is giving us the entire, 360-deg scope'd landscape of facts that anyone reading here arguably may find pertinent? I missed that part of this particular essay, I suppose. And as to whether Mossad or the IDF have "their own facility," what about this particular essay suggests they do NOT? What about reality suggests they do NOT? Not seeing that one either. Guess I missed that one too.

	Merry Furgling Christmas, Chris! There's nothing to do on Christmas Day except try to stay alive and have a good time while doing it. The pigs are on vacation. All their offices are closed. For a few blessed hours we don't have to listen to any of their bullshit. So Merry Furgling Christmas, like I said. And when you go back to work, try not to get any on ya.

... Mr. O'Neil, I did not mean to suggest an attempt to substitute speculation for factual analysis. However, the statement that,"It seems evident that the young women were driven mad by acts they have witnessed -- or carried out," implied a causal connection for which no evidence was adduced. You're right that there is no particular reson to conclude that Mossad does not have such a facility. It just seemed odd that, if they do, these two would not have been escorted there instead of to "[o]ne of the large mental health hospitals in Israel," where a major paper got wind of it. Just seems a bit sloppy for Mossad, that's all.
