  Psi Corps - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Telepaths, once discovered, are given a choice of joining the Corps, being sent to an internment camp or being forcibly drugged as long as they lived to suppress their telepathic abilities.
Once the Telepath War was over, the Psionic Monitoring Commission dedicated itself to hunting down those members of the corps who committed war crimes, such as Alfred Bester.
Telepaths were allowed a much wider range of options as far as their lives were concerned.

 The History of the Psi Corps

Telepaths that refuse to take sleepers or join the Corps become "blips." They are placed in concentration camps to be used by the Corps as they wish.

Although the existence of human telepaths was proved only around the 2100s, there have been existensive evidence of telepaths among the alien races (namely the Centauri and Minbari) centuries before the discovery of human telepaths.
Well, telepaths were created by the Vorlons (one of the first ones) exclusively to combat the Shadows in their war against them.
Most telepaths are rated under P12 and so usually need line of sight to scan their targets and they have a very short range normally about 500 to 600 metres.

Sheridan and Garibaldi are furious, but Delenn argues for the telepaths and points out that Sheridan's excuses for condemning their methods sound a lot like what Earth's president said to him when the war ended.
The telepaths receive mental images of one of their own being beaten up by Drazi, and several go to fight, though Byron tries to dissuade them from violence.
Byron announced during his first appearance that telepaths are better than mundanes; right now he might merely want a homeland, but I suspect that eventually he's going to decide they deserve a whole lot more, and that makes me as nervous as it makes the mundanes on the series.

The telepath virus described by Wade and Lise in "Conflicts of Interest" is indeed real, as is the drug to suppress it -- but the virus was developed by Edgars' company.
Since his aim was to control the telepaths, not simply wipe them out, perhaps he needed to wait until he had enough of the cure manufactured to supply to millions of victims.
Bester could possibly also use the virus on Lyta; death by the virus might be considered natural causes under the terms of her contract ("Moments of Transition.") Of course, such an operation would be very risky, since Lyta would be contagious.

 A Tragedy of Telepaths
Probably what's happened here is that the telepaths were always only too ready to use violence, but Byron was keeping them back on a very strained leash.
I think the heart of the problem of the telepaths is their attitude to the 'mundanes.' Even though they feel they've been manipulated, they look down on normals.
The telepaths ask the normals to give them a homeworld, treat them as equals, while the telepaths think they are superior.

 Zathras' Great Machine: Mental note.
The nature of telepaths, and the way they're treated in human society, has a lot of parallels to what it's like to be autistic in our society, and how our society often treats us.
In fact, there's even a "telepathic spectrum": telepaths are rated from P1 (very slightly telepathic, not much more than an unusually strong intuition) to P12 (telepathy so powerful that you have to learn how not to hear other people's thoughts, and you can even control other people's behavior in a limited way).
Telepaths, once they're identified as such, are required by law to either join the Psi Corps so they can be monitored and regulated, or to take special drugs, called "sleepers", that suppress their telepathy (and which also have some pretty harsh side effects...

All the confessions and cards were probably those of violent telepaths, but Sheridan had no way of knowing that it was a complete set, despite Byron's promise that Sheridan would have everything he needed to be sure.
If Garibaldi does lose his telepathic spies, the whole exercise was largely a waste of his time; the only piece of information he's received from the telepaths was the warning about the Drazi fleet in "Paragon," and that happened before he started spending time training operatives.
