Scientists have planted false memories into people's minds in a study that
demonstrates just how easy it is to for police to convince people they have
witnessed something that did not actually happen.

There have been a number of documented cases where Child Abuse counsellors extracted specific statements from children that they (the children) really believed, even into adulthood, that were subsequently proven to be impossible. None of these memories were referred to by the children in the early stages of the investigation - they seem to have been "discovered" during the interrogation. It's scary stuff...

Cheers
