How far back do such programs extend?
At least the 1950s. See From Russia with Love (the novel), in which the very tuned-in Ian Fleming created the character of "Red Grant" -- a lunar cycle serial killer conscripted, controlled, and utilized by SMERSH (a very real organization, by the way) as an assassin.

If an individual, through either his own volition or events over which he had no control, found himself taking up residence in a country undefined by flags or physical borders, he could be assured of one immediate and abiding consequence: He was on his own, and solitude and loneliness would probably be his companions unto the grave.

You can't blame the innocent, they are always guiltless. All you can do is control them or eliminate them. Innocence is a kind of insanity.
