Remote Viewers: The Secret History of America's Psychic Spies
By Jim Schnabel; Dell Books, 1997 (July??)
Pages 350-351, Chapter 22 "The Haunted House"
"There was one member of the unit who seemed almost to personify
the fate of the program.  He was a thirty-four-year-old Army
captain, David Morehouse, and he arrived in the summer of 1988.
Though Morehouse had never seen combat, he had commanded a Ranger
company and had later, briefly, been a member of a secret
special-operations squad known as Intelligence Support Activity
(ISA).  Morehouse was intelligent, a smooth talker, and his
career seemed to be on a fast track.  Even taking into account
the enormous exaggerations that go into military performance
reports, it was clear from Morehouse's that he was a cut above
most officers.
"Morehouse heard about the remote-viewing unit while he was at
ISA.  He had no history of psychic experiences, but he had a
casual interest in the paranormal, and the idea of being
transformed from an ordinary Army officer into a shaman-spy
attracted him, as it had so many others.  Paul Smith, charged
with evaluating potential recruits, thought Morehouse - who like
Smith was a Mormon - would make a good candidate.
"After arriving at the unit and training with Smith and Dames and
Lyn Buchanan, Morehouse began to participate in DT-S's day-to-day
activities.
 He seemed reasonably enthusiastic about remote viewing-he wanted
to be a Jedi knight like the rest of them-and there were
occasions when it seemed that he did have some talent.  As time
went by, however, and DT-S was increasingly separated from
operational military reality, Morehouse responded much the way
the others did: by finding other things to do.  He had a small
home-improvement business, House Tech, that he was already
running on the side; after a few months at Fort Meade, he began
to spend most of his time attending to it.  He would get in late,
and leave early, and even while he was at the office, he often
seemed to the others to be preoccupied with his House Tech
paperwork.  Eventually he began turning up at the office only one
or two days per week.
Pages 383-386
"Former Stubblebine aide John Alexander, now retired from the
Army and working on 'non-lethal weapons' programs at Los Alamos,
co-wrote a successful book in 1992, 'The Warrior's Edge' (KK's
comments: Morehouse's 'The Psychic Warrior', a ripped off of
Alexander's book - and if Alexander told half of what he knew, it
would be quite probably 10 times what Morehouse knew), about the
alternative world and soldiering.  Ed Dames eventually decided he
could do at least as well with a book on remote viewing.  Ingo
Swann hooked him up with a literary agent he knew, Sandra Martin.
 Dave Morehouse, who had been discussing the remote-viewing
program with investigative journalist Dale Van Atta since 1989,
was also invited to join the project.
"Dames and Morehouse worked on the book for a while, but they
didn't get far, and eventually agreed to turn over the writing to
Jim Marrs, a former Texas newspaper reporter who had written
'Crossfire'-a Kennedy assassination conspiracy book that had been
one of the inspirations for Oliver Stone's film 'JFK.'  Marrs
wrote a proposal for an expose of the remote-viewing program, and
sold it to Harmony Books (an imprint of Crown Publishing) for a
$100,000 advance, which he split with Dames and Morehouse.
"Remarkably, Morehouse was still in uniform at this point, as a
training officer with the 82d Airborne Division at Fort Bragg,
North Carolina.  He seemed to believe that he could continue his
military career even as he benefitted financially from exposing a
classified program.  When the deal with Harmony came through
(Morehouse heard about it over his field phone, while on
exercises in North Carolina) he used his share of the advance to
lease a Mercedes.  Through Sandra Martin, he began negotiating
with NBC for a movie deal based on his experiences as a military
psychic.
"Eventually, Morehouse's apparent love of dangerous situations
caught up with him.  In early 1994, an irate girlfriend filed a
complaint with Fort Bragg authorities, and Morehouse was charged
with a number of offenses against the military code, including
adultery, sodomy, the theft of an Army computer, and above all,
conduct unbecoming an officer.  In initial statements to Fort
Brad authorities, the woman mentioned that Morehouse had bragged
about his highly classified work at DT-S and other units, had
claimed that he could psychically spy on her at will, and had
told her about the book he was writing with his friend Ed Dames.
Mention of the book deal-which appeared to involve a deliberate
disclosure of classified information-set off further
investigations of Morehouse by INSCOM, the Army Criminal
Investigative Service.  Morehouse now faced a likely expulsion
from the Army, and a possible jail sentence.
"A few days after Fort Bragg authorities had decided to send
Morehouse to a full court-martial, Morehouse checked into Walter
Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C.  He gave the
impression that he was having visions of angels, and was
depressed and suicidal.  He was no longer competent to stand
trial, his lawyers now contended.  Remote viewing had
destabilized him, and now he had gone over the edge.  Morehouse
and Sandra Martin now also began to claim to friends that shadowy
government operatives were harassing them, trying to shut them
up.  In one case, Martin told me, some Pentagon operative had
