In 2005-2006 the CIA ran a Goodwill Project that gave children in South Asia a backpack filled with toys, games, notebooks, and pencils. However, this Goodwill Project was actually the cover of a very odd and a very secret psychological warfare plan, called Devil Eyes. The CIA worked with toymaker Donald Levine, a former Hasbro executive, the "father" of G.I. Joe toys. Levine designed a twelve-inch lifelike figure of Osama bin Laden whose face was painted with a material that, when exposed to prolonged heat, would peel off to reveal demon-like qualities with red skin, green eyes, and black markings. The goal of the program was to scare children and their parents in an effort to turn public opinion against the real Osama bin Laden. It wasn't until 2014 that the CIA finally acknowledged the existence of the program but said it was discontinued after Levine produced only three prototypes, which one rests in the CIA, others sold in auction to collectors. According to The Washington Post, an anonymous source with "direct knowledge of the project" said that hundreds of the toys were created and shipped to Karachi, Pakistan in 2006, however no figure, besides the prototypes, have turned up.
